ABOUT Medu Vada RECIPE

Medu Vada - The Indian Donut...I loved these as a kid and still do. It's my all time favorite snack. The vadas are so crisp from the outside and soft from the inside. These vadas are made from soaking black gram and grinding it to get a thick batter.

Ingredients Serving: 6

2 cups urad dal soaked in water for 3 hours at least
1" ginger chopped
3 green chilies chopped
1 green chili sliced thinly
3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
few curry leaves
Salt to taste
Oil for Deep frying

Instructions

After soaking urad dal, drain the liquid.
Grind the dal with green chilies, curry leaves, and ginger to a fine paste (in 3 batches).
Remove to a bowl and add sliced chilies, coriander leaves, and Salt to taste. Mix well.
Chill the batter in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep wok/kadhai. Take some clean water in a bowl.
Keep a wide flat katori handy.
Wet the base of katori, take a large lemon-sized batter and place it on the base of katori. With wet finger, make a hole in the center.
Drop the batter in the medium hot oil and hold katori till the batter loosens up and the katori can be separated easily.
