Instant Medu Vada Recipe calls for perfect medu vada batter which is made using semolina. Here I am using the regular thick semolina; you may also use the fine quality of semolina to make Instant Medu Vadas. Apart from that yogurt is required. The consistency of medu vada batter is critical and should be correct. Since these are the instant vadas, a little of quantity of baking soda is also required. For the flavouring ginger and coriander have been used. These vadas are given a very different and unique shape as that of doughnuts; it makes them really crispy because centre as well as the circumference gets crisp.
