For 8-10 pieces

Ingredients:-

1 cup Urad dal
2 1/2 tbsp Rava or semolina or sooji
1-2 chopped green chili
1/2 tbsp ginger paste
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp black pepper powder
1 tbsp coconut powder
Oil for deep frying
1 bowl water
1-2 Ziploc  bag

Method :-
Soaked the dal for four hours and grind dal in a grinder to make the batter. Make sure dal batter should be thick.


(For medu vada, we need thick dal batter so while grinding add only 1-2 tbsp water(if required)).

Take out dal batter in a bowl , add semolina , baking soda and baking powder and mix well.
Beat dal for 4-5 minutes.(With the help of hand or you can use beater)
 Add salt , blackpepper, green chili , ginger paste and coconut powder. Mix well 2-3 minutes more.

Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.

Take a plastic bag , open it from the sides.


Take a small ball from the dal batter.
Put it over the plastic.

With the help of water spread it.

With the help of finger , hole it in the between.


Then flip the pastic and turn the vada on your hand and dip in the oil ...and fry it.
Oil should be medium hot not very hot otherwise vadas will become quickly brown but uncooked from the inside.

Fry all the vadas this way till they become evenly brown in color and crisp.

Serve vadas with the hot Sambar and Coconut chutney.
