Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Rinse urad dal and rice mix(husked and split or whole black gram) a few times in water. Then soak the lentils in 2.5 to 3 cups water for at least 4 to 5 hours
* Step 2
Drain and discard the water. Add the soaked urad dal to a grinder jar. Add 3 to 4 tablespoon fresh water or as needed. Just be sure not to make the batter too thin!
* Step 3
Begin to grind or blend the urad dal to a smooth batter. The batter should be fluffy and thick.
* Step 4
Continue to grind at intervals by scraping the sides with a spatula. If your mixer or grinder becomes hot, then wait for a few minutes until it cools down.
* Step 5
Continue to grind or blend until you achieve a smooth, fluffy batter. Remember there should be no fine grits or chunks of urad dal in the batter.
* Step 6
Remove the batter into a big bowl or vessel. Then briskly whip with a spatula, spoon or a wired whisk for 2 to 3 minutes. This aerates the batter and gives it a light, fluffy texture.
* Step 7
Measure and keep all the ingredients ready for making the batter. To the batter, add the following spices and herbs:
* Step 8
You can add all the vegetables and spices,salt into the batter mix well. You do not have to ferment the batter. You can use it right away. Check the taste of the batter and, if needed, add some salt.
* Step 9
Take a bowl of water. Apply some water from the bowl on both your palms. Take some batter in your right palm from the bowl. Give it a round shape by moving it in a circular position in the right hand. With your thumb make a hole in the center. You can also use banana leaves or zip lock bags to give the medu vada its doughnut shape.
* Step 10
In a kadai, heat oil over medium heat. Once the oil becomes hot, slide the medu vada gently into the hot oil. Be careful here! Once the vada are slightly golden and the batter has firmed up and looks crispy, then gently turn over with a slotted spoon and continue to fry.
* Step 11
Continue to fry the vada, turning over as needed.
* Step 12
Fry the medhu vadai till crisp and golden. Once the medhu vadai is crisp and golden, then remove with a slotted spoon to drain the extra oil. Fry the rest of vadai in the same manner
* Step 13
Serve medu vada hot or warm with sambar and coconut chutney. Enjoy!
