Medu Vada is the savoury South Indian doughnut: urad dal whipped to a light, fluffy batter, hand-shaped, and fried to a deep crisp. Served with sambar and coconut chutney — equally perfect as a breakfast, snack, or side.
The key to a great medu vada is in the whip — the urad dal is ground without water and beaten until light and airy. We season with black pepper, cumin, ginger, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida, then shape each vada by hand with that signature hole in the middle.
Crisp ring on the outside, soft and flavourful inside, and that hole-in-the-middle is more than tradition — it's how every part of the vada fries evenly. A South Indian breakfast staple that's worth the trip across Surrey.
