Ullundu Vadai (also known as Medu Vada in other parts of South India) is a classic South Indian savory snack made from urad dal (black gram) batter that’s lightly seasoned and deep-fried to golden perfection.
Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, these doughnut-shaped fritters are flavored with green chilies, ginger, curry leaves, black pepper, and onions (optional). Ullundu Vadai is often served hot with coconut chutney and sambar, making it a favorite breakfast or evening tiffin item across Tamil Nadu.
