Menu vada or vadai is a traditional favourite of South India that features not just in everyday cuisine but is also an indispensable part of the menu on festivals and puja days. Grind the batter with just enough water to make a soft but not watery dough - as itâ??s the consistency of the batter that determines how soft and shapely the vadas turn out, and of course how many compliments you reap! after all, â??meduâ?? means soft, and the wadas must live up to the name. Take care to make the vadas as soon as the batter is made, as they will absorb too much oil if left to ferment. Also, forget not the hole in the centre for it is the defining feature of medu wadas!
