About Medu vada
Medu Vada is a popular South Indian savory snack made from urad dal (black gram lentils), seasoned with spices like ginger, curry leaves, and green chilies. The lentil batter is shaped into small, doughnut-like rings and deep-fried to create a crispy outer layer with a soft, fluffy interior. Known for its rich flavor and satisfying texture, Medu Vada is often served with chutneys and sambar. As a protein-rich dish due to the urad dal, it can provide energy and support muscle health. However, it is deep-fried, which increases its calorie and fat content, making moderation key for those monitoring their diet. Medu Vada is naturally gluten-free and offers a small dose of dietary fiber and essential nutrients, making it a flavorful snack or breakfast option within South Indian cuisine.
