Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Urad Dal Paste

   Wash and soak urad dal for 2-4 hours. After soaking, drain the water and grind the dal into a smooth, thick paste using minimal water.

2. 2.Add Chopped Onion

   To the prepared urad dal paste, add the finely chopped red onion.

3. 3.Add Green Chilli

   Next, add the chopped green chilies to the mixture.

4. 4.Add Coriander Leaves

   Incorporate the fresh chopped coriander leaves into the dal mixture.

5. 5.Mix and Season

   Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Add salt to taste and mix again.

6. 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. 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. 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.
