Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Add salt to taste and mix again.
- 6.Shape the Vadas
Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a donut-like vada with a hole in the center. You can wet your hands slightly to prevent the batter from sticking.
- 7.Deep Fry the Vadas
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully drop the shaped vadas into the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, ensuring they are cooked through.
- 8.Serve
Once fried, remove the Medu Vadas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
