Supplies
- 1 cup urad dal
- 2 green chilli (finely chopped)
- 1-inch ginger (finely chopped)

- Mix the batter well with the help of a spoon.
- Heat the oil in a large kadai. wet your hands with enough water and take a small ball-sized dough and make it round.
- Now slowly shape the edges and make a hole at the centre as you prepared in bread vada.
- Drop the vada in oil and deep fry the medu vada on medium flame.
- Fry on both sides till they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Finally, serve hot medu vada prepared in mixi with chutney or sambar of your choice.
