This sweet recipe only requires 2 main ingredients, maida and sugar and also a little bit of ghee and oil for frying.

The correct consistency is that of chapathi flour. Make sure that you fry these maida biscuits in small batches so that they get cooked evenly.

In this video we will see how to make Medu Vada at home in Tamil. Medu Vada Recipe / Ulundu Vadai Recipe is very easy to make once you get the right consistency of the batter. Medu vada is served as a snack along with some tea / coffee. Medu vada is a perfect companion to many South Indian breaffast recipes like idli, dosa, pongal and is also made into sambar vada, dahi vada etc. In some shops they add rice flour to add crispiness to the vada (also rice flour is much cheaper than ulunthu) but I think it is not necessary. The most important part of making the batter is grinding it without adding much water. We need to get a fluffy batter consistency which creates a much lighter, airy vada. If you desire extra crispiness you can add some rice flour.

Friends there is nothing more exciting than serving freshly fried vada right from the kitchen. Sometimes just the addition of vadas increases the appeal of the whole breakfast. After tasting these medu vada everyone will be asking for this vada combination with every breakfast. Friends please do post your feedback on the recipe in the comments below. All the best and happy cooking !!
