Medhu vadai is a traditional south Indian recipe made from ured dhal. My mother used to make this during festival times. Grind the batter with just enough water to make a soft but not watery dough – as the consistency of the batter that determines how soft the vadas turn out. If it is too watery, the shape will not come proper. Medhu vadais should be made immediately after grinding. If the batter is little watery, you can add little rice flour to it.
