One Snack and known by many names down South, these make for an excellent iftaar treat too. These are deep fried yet does not soak enough oil while frying as the paste used is a thick one. Soaking it is also an important step to be followed and likewise making a thick paste is important without using much water. Otherwise they will not hold shape and also soak lots of oil. Kids will love these as a tiffin treat. Melt in mouth and super fluffy, these are a treat to the tastebuds.

Medu Vadas or to put it in simple terms, Indian Savoury Doughnuts are a perfect choice for a family Tea-time snack. It goes very well alongside Coconut Chutney. Or can also be served with any Indian Chutney of your choice.
Happy Frying People!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
