Medu Vada is a popular South Indian snack made from urad dal (black gram) flour. It is shaped like a doughnut and has a crispy exterior with a soft, fluffy interior. The batter is typically seasoned with spices like cumin and black pepper, and sometimes includes chopped onions or green chilies for added flavor. Medu Vada is often served with sambar (a lentil-based vegetable stew) and coconut chutney, making it a delicious accompaniment to breakfast or as a snack. It is enjoyed for its unique texture and savory taste, and is a staple in many South Indian households.
