Don't let leftover rice go to waste! With this quick recipe, you can turn them into crispy and flavorful Medu Vadas that are perfect for breakfast or snack time. Plus, they're healthier than traditional deep-fried snacks.
Ingredients
2
2 cups Cooked rice
quarter cup Curd
half cup Water
half cup Rava (semolina)
Salt as per taste
2 pieces Green chillies
half inch Ginger
Oil as per taste
Tips
Make sure the batter has a dropping consistency, neither too thick nor too thin.
Adjust the spice level according to your preference by adding more or fewer green chillies.
To make the vadas crisper, you can add a tablespoon of rice flour to the batter.
Directions
In a mixer grinder, combine cooked rice, curd, and water. Blend until smooth to make a paste.
Transfer the paste into a mixing bowl and add rava, salt, chopped green chillies, and grated ginger. Mix well and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, whisk the batter to make it fluffy.
Heat oil in a Kadhai (deep frying pan) over medium heat.
Wet your hands and take a small portion of the batter, shape it into a small ball, then flatten slightly to form a vada shape.
Gently slide the vadas into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. Alternatively, you can air fry them for a healthier option.
Once done, remove the vadas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney and enjoy!
Notes
While these vadas are a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried snacks, moderation is key, especially for individuals with diabetes or those watching their calorie intake.
Enjoy them as part of a balanced diet.
