i actually do not remember when i started to like this dish. perhaps this is due to because i started to like this since my childhood. i still remember my school days when i use to crave for medu vada every evening. my dad use to take me to a local restaurant near to my home. he use to serve idli and medu vada dipped in aromatic and spicy coconut sambar plus coconut chutney.

    You mention channa dal in the recipe card but it is not in the video.. I am guessing the card is more “up-to-date”.

    Simply amazing!! Can I grind the onion , chillies and ginger along with urad dhal? Or can I make a separate paste of them and then add to urad batter.. Please clarify.. My kid doesn’t prefer them but loves vadai.
