Hi Friends!

 My Today’s recipe.. Medu Vada/Ulunthu Vadai

DSC00215

Medu Vada/Ulunthu Vadai is a traditional recipe in south indian cuisine. It’s a best accompaniment with pongal, sambar and chutney, which is used to prepare in all occasions and festives in south indian houses. But the successful vada depends on the consistency of the batter. The fluffy and frothy batter will give soft and crispy vada. Check out the notes below for proper consistency.

Medu vada

Ingredients – Medu Vada/Ulunthu Vadai

  •  Urad dal – 1 cup
  • Big onions or shallots – ½ cup(Finely chopped)
  • Ginger – small inch piece(Grated)
  • Green chillies – 2 to 3(slitter ir finely chopped)
  • Black Pepper corns – 1 to 1½ tsp
  • Cumin seeds/Jeera – 1 to 1½ tsp
  • Curry leaves  –  Few(Handful)
  • Coriander leaves/Kothamalli thazhai – Few(Handful)
  • Salt – as needed

 Notes:

  1. To check the proper consistency of batter, take a small pinch of batter and drop it in water. If it starts to float on water, that’s a exact consistency.
  2. While frying Vada’s, keep the flame in medium flame.If you keep it high, the inner part of vadai will not cook properly.
  3. Instead of using chopped green chillies,you can give a quick grind of it and add to the batter.
