Ingredients
Vada Batter
- 1 cup Medu Vada Batter ready-made
Aromatics and Spices
- 1 Chili finely chopped, green
- 1/2 inch Ginger finely chopped
- 1/2 Onion finely chopped
- 1 sprig Curry Leaves chopped
- 7-8 Peppercorns black
- 1-2 tsp Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the Medu Vada batter, green chili, ginger, onion, curry leaves, black peppercorns, and salt.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle gently.
- Lightly wet your palms with water. This prevents the batter from sticking. Take a spoonful of the batter and shape it into a small disc.
- Make a small hole in the center of each vada. This helps them cook evenly.
- Carefully slide the vadas into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the vadas, flipping them once, until they turn a deep golden brown and are cooked through. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked vadas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve the crispy Medu Vadas hot with coconut chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different variations. Try adding different vegetables or spices to create your own unique dish.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Tempting
Yes..we love them. But at times feel lazy to soak, grind etc. With fresh readymade batter, things have become so easy!!
Simple and delectable. Even I love it eating in restaurant because making batter at home is bit tedious but hopefully Farmz2Familiez would solve that problem too.
