Steps

40 mins

1

Wash and soak dal in about 3 cups of water for about 2-3 hours. Drain all the water from the soaked dal. grind urad dal and chana dal together to smooth paste using very little water.
2

The batter should be thick and use very little water. The right consistency is very important otherwise, you will not be able to get the vada shape.
3

Add coriander, green chili, ginger, and chopped dry coconut to the batter. mix it very well. Add 2-3 tsp of rice flour. rice flour is added to make it crispy.
4

Add a pinch of hing to make it more digestible. Heat the oil in a frying pan in medium flame. wet your palms and take a lemon size batter.
5

Make hole in the center and slide it into the hot oil. The vada should float on top of oil.
6

Make sure your oil is not too hot. otherwise, the vadas would not cook evenly. Fry on both sides till it becomes golden brown in colour.
7

Serve medu vada immediately with chutney collections or sambar.
