How to make Medu Vada - South Indian recipe

Adding a bit of Rice flour can crispyfy anything.
(yes, crispyfy is a word!)

Thanks karthikbing, will try it out!

You boil a small potato.. mash it and add it to the batter…. when fried the potato gives that powdery crispiness. I am not making this up! I remember my mom saying that this was the secret

These vada are pretty crispy without adding anything else to it.

Hi guys! Thanks for uploading this!
I like my vadais to be a bit crispy, do you guys know if theres anything i can add to get that?
I’d appreciate any suggestions,thanks!

You could’ve shown what it looked like on the inside.

Can we have a video on how to make sev-khamni? I’m a Southie marrying a Gujarati and her mom made it for me once and I was sold on that dish. :o) Too bad she never really made it again. Apparently it’s a little complicated, I heard.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

sorry but im a paranoid barstard i cant help it soz… Sorry this is scary if u read this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die

Its called “Medu Vadai” in Tamil and is a tamilian recipe, meaning soft vadai.. but it is crisp outside and soft inside. Finely chopped onions are usually added to the paste along with other ingredients in TamilNadu, which will be usually saute’d in the oil. thanks for the video. it was great.

We’ve never tried it urad powder but would imagine that the texture would be too smooth. Usually, the daal is ground a little coarse.

hi, can i use urad daal powder in this recipe. i have urad daal powder and i want to made this now. great recipe.thanks.

oops! Asafoetida (hing) should go in with the ginger/green chilies, and black pepper. Thanks!

what about asofeatida? where and when does it go??
