Ulundhu Vada, also known as Medu Vada, is a popular South Indian snack made primarily from urad dal (black gram lentils). These lentils are soaked, ground into a thick batter, and seasoned with ingredients like curry leaves, green chilies, ginger, and black pepper. Shaped into doughnut-like rings, the batter is deep-fried to create crispy, golden vadas with a soft interior. Indigenous to Indian cuisine, Ulundhu Vada is a staple in breakfast and festive meals, often served alongside chutneys and sambar. Rich in protein and fiber from urad dal, it offers digestive and energy-boosting benefits. However, as it is deep-fried, it can be high in calories and may contain unhealthy fats when not cooked in quality oils. Moderation and balanced accompaniments can make this dish a satisfying addition to a healthy diet.
