Steps

1

Wash and rinse the urad dal thoroughly. Soak it in water overnight or for at least 3-4 hours.
2

Drain the water & grind the dal to a smooth paste in a grinder or food processor with a few drops of water, if needed. The batter should remain thick so it can hold it's shape.
3

Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and add finely chopped onion, green chillies and ginger along with curry leaves.
4

Add a pinch of baking soda and salt to taste and mix all the ingredients together.
5

Heat oil in a deep kadai or frying pan over medium flame. Wet your palm with water. Take medium lemon sized portion of batter on your palm, press it gently and make thick round
6

Make a whole in the center using your thumb.
7

When the oil is medium hot, slowly slide vada in it; add 3-4 vadas at a time. Flip and deep-fry both the sides until they turn light golden brown and crisp.
8

Drain excess oil and transfer them over kitchen paper on a plate. Repeat the same process for remaining batter. Medu vada is ready to serve
