MEDHU VADAI RECIPE-One of my all time favorites.Tasty,healthy snack.Here is the recipe.
1.Soak Urad Dhal for minimum 1 hr.I soaked for nearly 4 hrs.
2.Just add 1/4 cup of water and start the grinder.Now add urad dhal slowly.See to that urad dhal does not stick to the grinding stones.Note the time.
3.Grind well occaionally scraping the sides for even grinding and add water only in drops when you feel the stones get jammed..
4.Grind just for a maximum of 20 to 25 mins.By now dhal would have ground well.Take just a ball in hand and check if you can make holes.
5.Just before taking the batter add some pepper so that it gets broken.Transfer he batter to a bowl.
6.If you are making vadai immediately you can add the chopped green chillies,ginger,coriander leaves,cumin seeds,Asafoetida ,salt and mix well.If you are making the vadai later keep the batter in fridge.
7.Heat Oil in a kadai.It should fill the vadai completely.So take oil accordingly.
8.Take a bowl of water.Wet your fingers.When oil is hot,Take a ball of batter.Make hole using thumb.Keep your fingers inverted over oil.Just move your fore finger and ring finger.Vadai will drop into oil.Keep your hands in safe level so that oil does not splatter.
9.Allow the vadai to get cooked one side before using any spatula.Flip the other side to get it cooked.Flip in a good interval of time so that vadai turns crispy on both sides.
10.Serve hot with coconut chutney and hot cup of Tea as snack or with a great breakfast combo
11.Cook 'n' Enjoy

Tip:
1.I added water before adding Urad dhal as per the grinder manufacturers instruction.The instruction says add little water before loading the grinder.So each time,I add very little water before loading the grinder.
2.As per my observation using chilled water while grinding urad dhal makes it more fluffy.My mother has also told this.I do this even for Idli batter.
3.Finely Chopped Onions also can be added as per your taste preferance.
