Medu Vada – Hindi Recipe

Instructions

• Take urad dal into a strainer and wash it really good with water for 2-3 times.
• Transfer the dal into a big bowl. Soak urad dal in enough water for about an hour.
• Strain the soaked through a sieve and drain all water.
• Transfer the soaked dal into a blender jar and blend into a little coarse paste.
• Do not add any water while blending. Or use minimum water while blending.
• After a few pulses move the blended dal to the center of the blender pot with the help of a butter knife or spoon and blend again.
• Transfer the blended dal into a bowl.
• Beat the blended dal really good for about 10 minutes.
• The more you beat the dal the vadas will be more fluffy and light.
• Add rice flour, ginger, green chili, curry leaves, and salt to taste. Mix well.
• Heat up oil in a pan.
• Take some water in a pot and take a katori with a flat surface.
• Flip the katori over and clean the base of katori.
• Spread a little water on the flat surface.
• Take 2 spoons and take some batter in it.
• Make a round ball of the batter with the help of spoons.
• You can do it with your hands too if you want.
• Put the batter ball on the katori.
• Dip a finger into the water, give a round shape to the batter ball, and make a hole at the center.
• Flip the katori over the pan and drop the vada into the hot oil.
• Fry the vadas on low heat until these get the nice golden color from all sides.
• Take vadas out of out, drain excess oil, and transfer these into a dish.
