Methu/Ulunthu Vadai - மெது வடை


Ingredients:
  • Black gram (Ulunthu) 1 cup
  • Pepper 5
  • Salt
  • Onion 2
  • Oil
  • Green chilly 5

Method:

  • Soak ulunthu for atleast 2 hrs (If the Black gram is skinned soak and remove the skin).
  • Grind the ulunthu with pepper and salt.(Better to grind in grinder instead of mixie)
  • Take the batter in a Broad vessel and beat it with the egg beater at high for 5 mins.
  • Finely chop the onion,green chillies,coriander(optional), ginger(optional) and add to the batter.
  • Heat the kadai and pour enough oil for deep fry.
  • Wet your hand and make the batter into lemon sized ball and flatten it into vada shape with the hole in center.
  • Toss the vada in the oil and fry it at medium flame.
  • Remove the vada from oil once it turns into golden brown.

Note:
Beating the batter incorporates air and makes the Vadas fluffy. Instead of egg beater u can also use hand and beat it for 15 mins.
While grinding add less amount of water.This helps to make vada more fluffy.
