Medu Vadas! Fluffy and melt in mouth with a soft texture are something to die for. Who doesn't like them? These are infact the most popular snacks as well as an excellent item for breakfast too down South. These are done by me using two Lentils as a twist this time for Iftaar time. I can just gobble up these on any given day. I think most of you feel the same way for these gorgeous looking Indian Donuts that are healthy even though deep fried. The secret to best Vadas lies in using as little water as possible. They does not soak up Oil this way and are absolutely healthy. Best served with Coconut Chutney. These are the perfect goodies to be enjoyed at tea-time. Happy Cooking People!

Steps

30-40 minutes

1

Soak both Lentils for about 4 hours or more if time permits. I have soaked them at 6 in the morning and made in the evening at the same time. This way the batter was smooth and fluffy. Use as little water as possible.
2

Add rest of the ingredients to the batter and mix well. Heat Oil in a kadai. Take a Lemon sized lump of the batter and shape into a Medu Vada making a hole in the centre with your thumb. Grease your palms a bit with Oil or just plain water. Slide carefully into the hot Oil. Keep the heat to a low as you slide them. Increase it afterwards to a medium high heat to high heat as needed.
3

Deep fry them by changing the sides and keeping a watchful eye on them. They get done very easily and quickly too. Serve them piping hot with any Chutney of your choice. Enjoy!

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.
