Medu Vadai/Ulutham Vadai

Medu Vada, the most struggled dish after i entered into the blogging world..there its a big journey behind this post, this is my dream one, im not a big fan of deep fried snacks, When Jess boy is 1 yr, every one said medu vadai is a healthy food for babies..
Unfortunately i have zero knowledge to make it, when ever i try this, it ends with shapeless vadai, or it drink more oil.. these happens often.
For a long time i was asking every one “How to Make a Perfect Medu Vadai?” , at-last i grabbed lot of tips & put in mission.. i tried to make the shapes through my hands and end with shape less Vadai, then i tried this with butter paper and by chance i drop the butter paper to the hot oil:(
finally i thought using of ladle.. that helps me… and here with proud im sharing my medu vada post… in this blogging walk im so happy about this post..:) Do Try and let me know how it turns for you..:) here we go with our medu vada recipe..
Preparation time- 1 1/2 hour
Cooking Time- 15 mins
Serves- 4-5
Ingredients:
Urad Dhal/ Ulutham parupu- 100 gms/ 1 cup
Idli Rice- 1 tsp
Onion- 1 (Finely chopped)
Green Chillie- 1 (Finely chopped)
Curry Leaves- 1 spring
Pepper Powder- 1 tsp
Salt- 3/4 tsp(Or as per taste)
Pepper Corns- 1/2 tsp
Jeera- 1/2 tsp
Oil- to fry
* Grind the Dhal to buttery Consistency.. Grind them by sprinkling some water drops, For the final check dip your finger in water and immediately dip the finger to the grinded batter.. it’ll not stick thats the right time to take out (I grind this in my mixer, if you have large quantity use your grinder), refrigerate the batter for 15 to 20 mins.
* Add the Chopped Onion, Green chillie, Pepper powder, Pepper corns, Jeera, salt and Curry Leaves to the batter and mix em up..
* Heat the kadai with oil, Lot of techniques are there to shape the medu vada, this is one among them, take a flat ladle, grease the back side with oil or few drops of water, scoop some vada batter over the ladle, make a hole in the center, reverse it over the kadai and drop the vadai into the hot oil, Keep in medium flame.
{I dont have the helping hands there in my kitchen after few mins only i clicked the first picture, thats why it looks imperfect there.. but i assure it’ll drop in the oil without trouble}
* Flip the Vadai and cook till they are golden brown in color.
