Steps

1

Rinse the urad dal until the water runs clear. Drain the water completely.
2

Add it to a blender and blend to a fine paste with as little water as possible. Remove and transfer into a bowl. Beat it well in circular motion to make it lighter and to increase it's volume.
3

Add the ginger, green chillies, curry leaves and onions to a chopper.
4

Chop it until finely chopped.
5

Add the chopped ingredients to the dal paste. Add the coarsely pounded black pepper and salt.
6

Give it a good mix and the batter is ready for deep frying.
7

Heat oil in a kadai on medium flame. Wet both hands in cold water. Take a lime sized ball of batter with your right hand and place it on your straightened left hand. Flatten it gently. Make a hole in the middle with your right finger. Flip it gently to your right hand and slide in carefully in the hot oil. Wash and wet your hands again. Repeat the process. Add few vadas at a time so that it gets fried well.
8

Keep turning the vadas till they are golden brown in color. Take them out carefully on a kitchen paper to absorb the extra oil.
9

Continue to make vadas with the rest of the batter.

Serve hot medu vada immediately with chutney of your choice.
