• Put 8-10 curry leaves and 1/2 tablespoon grated ginger.
• Also put some coconut small pieces.
• Put salt as per taste.
• Now with the help of your hand beat the medu vada batter for 5 minutes in order to get medu vada soft from inside.

For Frying Medu Vadas:

• Heat oil in kadai on medium flame.
• Now apply water in your hand, take small portion of medu vada batter and just give it a round shape with your hand. Press slightly and make a hole in centre.
• Release it slowly and carefully in the oil.
• Repeat the same process and fry all medu vadas from both the sides on medium flame.
