About Ulundu vada
Ulundu Vada, also known as Medu Vada, is a crisp and savory South Indian delicacy made primarily from black gram lentils (urad dal). This deep-fried fritter has a golden exterior and soft, fluffy interior, often shaped like a small doughnut. Ingredients typically include soaked and ground urad dal, spices like black pepper, green chilies, cumin, and a touch of asafoetida, accented with curry leaves or onions for flavor. Nutritionally, ulundu vada is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium due to the lentils. However, being a deep-fried dish, it has high fat content, particularly from the oil used in frying, making it calorie-dense. It’s best enjoyed in moderation alongside nutrient-rich accompaniments like sambar and coconut chutney. A quintessential dish in Indian breakfasts and special occasions, Ulundu Vada is a blend of indulgence and tradition.
