MIXED VEGETABLE MEDHU VADAI

Ingredients:

Black gram split / urid dal / ulunthu paruppu - 1 cup
Finely chopped onion - 1/2 cup
Finely chopped or grated crispier vegetables like carrots, beans, cabbage, capsicum - 1 1/2 cup
Finely chopped green chilies - 1 tbsp
Finely chopped ginger - 1 tbsp
Curry leaves (optional) - 2 sprigs finely chopped
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry

 Preparation:

Soak black gram splits for one hour and grind fluffy without water. If needed just sprinkle some water and make a thick batter. As we add vegetables the batter must be thicker than normal vadai batter.


Mix all the other ingredients except oil and mix well.


I grated carrots and chopped other veggies.


Now heat oil in a pan to deep fry vadai. Just wet the fingers of one hand and take a lemon sized batter. Keep the batter on the wet palm of other hand and make a hole in the middle with finger. Deep fry in oil and serve hot with sambhar or chutney.


Note:
For normal medhu vadai just skip the vegetables and follow the same procedure. But the batter must be in consistency that when a small amount in floated on water it must not spread and it must not sink. It just floats as whole.
