Ingredients
For the Savory Donut Batter
- 2 cup Medu Vada Batter pre-made; farmz2familiez brand recommended
- 1/2 cup Spinach finely chopped, fresh
- 1/2 cup Moong Sprouts coarsely ground, fresh
- 5-6 leaves Curry Leaves fresh
- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1.5 tsp Salt adjust to taste
For Frying
- 2 cup Vegetable Oil or any high-heat cooking oil
- Water Water as needed to adjust batter consistency
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the medu vada batter, chopped spinach, coarsely ground moong sprouts, curry leaves, asafoetida, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Adjust Batter Consistency
- Beat the batter for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. To check readiness, drop a small amount of batter into a glass of water; it should float. If necessary, add a little water at a time to achieve the correct consistency.
Heat the Oil
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat.
Shape and Fry the Donuts
- Wet your palms with water. Take a spoonful of batter and gently shape it into a small, flat round. Use your thumb to make a hole in the center, creating a donut shape.
Fry the Donuts
- Carefully slide the donuts into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the fried donuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with masala chai or your favorite dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Savory Donuts:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red chili flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice to the batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy donuts.
- If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Experiment with different vegetables! Finely chopped carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini would be delicious additions.
