About Medu wada
Medu Vada is a popular South Indian snack known for its crispy exterior and fluffy, doughnut-like shape. Made primarily from black gram lentils (urad dal), the batter is seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, curry leaves, and green chilies, then deep-fried to golden perfection. This dish is often served with coconut chutney and sambar, a lentil-based vegetable stew. Rich in protein and dietary fiber from the lentils, Medu Vada can provide a quick energy boost. However, its deep-fried nature adds significant fat and calories, making moderation key for those watching their intake. Packed with spices, it offers antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, and the probiotic-rich fermentation process of the batter further aids digestion. While undeniably delicious, it’s best savored occasionally within a balanced diet. A baked or air-fried version can provide a healthier alternative.
