About Ulundu vadai

Ulundu Vadai, also known as Medu Vada, is a savory fritter originating from South Indian cuisine. Made primarily from urad dal (black gram lentils), this crispy golden delicacy is shaped like a doughnut and deep-fried to perfection. The batter includes ingredients like ginger, green chilies, black pepper, curry leaves, and onions, lending it a spicy and aromatic flavor. Rich in protein and fiber due to the urad dal base, Ulundu Vadai provides essential nutrients for energy and digestion. However, its deep-fried preparation increases the calorie and fat content, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Often enjoyed as a snack or part of a traditional meal, it pairs well with coconut chutney and sambar for a wholesome culinary experience.
