Medhu Vada
The crispy tasty medhu vadas. You can have them anytime - breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner. Hot hot, dipped into sambhar or coconut chutney....hmmmmmm...And when soaked into curd with sugar or some sprinkled spices, that makes it 'curd vada'.
Ingredients:
Urad dal :150g
Green chilli : 2
Red chillies : 2
Ginger : 1/2 inch
Asafoetida/Hing : 1/4th tsp
Salt to taste
Curry leaves : few
Oil : to deep fry
Chopped Coconut : 2-3 tsp (optional) (or u can add chopped onion if you like)
Note: you can adjust chilly quantity as per your taste
Method:
1. Soak the urad dal in water for minimum 1 hour. Then drain the water completely.
2. Grind green chillies, red chillies, ginger. Then add urad dal to it, asafoetida and salt and grind it well into a smooth fluffy batter. (No need to add water while grinding. At the max, sprinkle water if necessary)
3. Transfer it into some container, add chopped coconut (optional) and curry leaves (roughly tear the leaves before adding)
4. Heat oil in a pan/kadhai, when it is medium hot, fry the vadas (making a hole in the center) in oil till golden brown in colour.
[Note: for step4, keep a bowl of water ready by your side, you need to keep wetting your palm/fingers so that the batter doesnt stick to your palm/fingers. So wet your palm & fingers, take a small portion of batter, place it on your palm, flatten it, wet your index finger, make the hole in center of batter, now flip the batter onto your other palm and drop it into the oil carefully. Please refer the video.]
