Cooking Tips

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the vadas to ensure they turn out crispy.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more water. If it is too thin, add some rice flour to adjust the consistency.
• You can add finely chopped vegetables like carrots or spinach to the batter for added flavor and nutrition.

Storage and Serving

• Instant Medu Vadas are best served hot and crispy.
• If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the vadas in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they are heated through and crispy again.
