Medhu vada, Ulundu vadai recipe, How to make garelu

Medhu vada/ Ulundu vadai is fried Indian savory donut with crispy exterior and soft interior. Medhu vada / Ulundhu vada is prepared by grinding soaked urad dal into batter and frying the shaped batter in oil. It is usually served with breakfast and tastes best with sambar and coconut chutney. For this recipe I have not used onions as I prepared it for pooja but adding onions will enhance the taste even more. Below is the video for shaping and frying which might be useful for  beginners.  So lets get to the making!
