MEDHU VADAI(URAD DAL VADA)

MEDHU VADAI/URAD DAL VADA

Medhu vadai  - A delicius fritters made of urad dal. I love these vada's for their crisp texture and divine taste. No South Indian festival is complete without some fried accompaniment.This is one of the classic and nutritious dish quick to cook and very easy to digest. :)

For this vadai you need

1 cup of urad dal
2 -3 nos. of green chillies
A sprig of curry leaves
1 onion
Salt
Oil 

Preparation

Soak urad dal for an hour.

Drain off the water and grind it to a smooth paste by sprinkling little water.

Chop the onions and green chillies finely.

Add the chopped ingredients along with salt and sprig leaves to the batter. Mix it well.

Heat oil in a pan, wet your palm ,take a small portion of it pat in your palm ,make a hole in the center and drop it in oil. (It should rise quickly to the top)

Fry them in medium flame until they turn crispy and golden brown. Drain them on kitchen paper to remove excess oil from it.

Tasty  urad dal vada is ready to be served.......

Serve it hot with coconut chutney/Sambar and enjoy........ :)

Note:

Don't add too much of water while grinding , just sprinkle now and then.

The batter should be soft,frothy  and non sticky that is the correct consistency. 

After frying if your vada's doesn't seem crispy add a tsp. of rice flour and then try out.

Make sure you fry them in medium heat . Turn them around a few times to brown them evenly.
