"Eat vada, it is very nice. Also have some sambar, you will love it." Thus spoke former Indian President, Dr. Abdul Kalam, in a land that normally considers whale steak as a national delicacy.
Medu vada is a traditional south indian food which is prepared especially during festival seasons. I still remember as kids we would be thrilled when my mom prepares it using banana leaf for special poojas in home & it taste heaven. Intially when I started making this, I would struggle to get them into those wonderful doughnut in shapes but now it looks wonderful & taste delicious.
