Скачать или смотреть Medu Vada | Ayudha Pooja & vijayadhasami celeb

Ayudha Pooja is a traditional festival celebrated during Navaratri, mainly in South India. It is the day we honor the tools, vehicles, and instruments that help us in our daily life, symbolizing gratitude and respect for work. Families clean and decorate their homes, worship their tools, and prepare festive foods.

One of the most loved festive snacks made on this day is Medu Vada—a crispy, fluffy South Indian fritter shaped like a doughnut. It’s often served with chutney and sambar as part of the pooja prasadam.


🥙 Medu Vada Recipe

Ingredients:
• 1 cup whole urad dal (black gram, skinless)
• 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
• 1 inch ginger (finely chopped or grated)
• 2 tbsp chopped curry leaves
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped, optional)
• 1–2 whole black peppercorns (optional, for flavor)
• Salt – to taste

Preparation Steps:
1. Soak Dal
• Wash and soak urad dal in enough water for 4–5 hours (or overnight).
2. Grind Batter
• Drain water completely and grind the dal to a smooth, fluffy paste. Add very little water if needed.
• The batter should be thick and light.
3. Mix Ingredients
• Transfer batter to a bowl. Add green chilies, ginger, curry leaves, onions, salt, and pepper.
• Mix well, beating the batter for a few minutes to aerate (this makes vadas fluffy).
4. Deep Fry
• Heat oil in a deep pan.
• Fry vadas in medium-hot oil until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
• Drain on tissue paper.

Serving:
• Offer the freshly made Medu Vadas as prasadam during Ayudha Pooja.
