The best way to use leftover rice to make crispy medu vadas for breakfast or snacks. Learn how to make instant medu vada recipe | leftover rice medu vada | instant rava medu vada |

Most South Indians consider breakfast incomplete without Idli and Medu Vada. Here’s is an easy and quick way to prepare traditional medu vada using leftover rice and semolina. Rice flour and semolina gives the perfect crispiness to the leftover rice medu vadas.

This recipe can be whipped up quickly in 15 minutes without any fermentation. The other benefit of this instant rava medu vada is the ease of shaping the vadas, you may find it difficult to shape an urad based dough, but with rava it is stiff and hence can be easily shaped. Serving them hot with sambhar and coconut chutney however is doubly delightful.

Tips to make instant medu vada: 1. You can use cooked rice like basmati, kolam etc. 2. Rice flour is added for the binding in the mixture. 3. Deep fry the vadas on medium flame so that they get evenly cooked from inside.

Tarla Dalal    Hi Tanvi, The vada must have not been soft because of one of the following reasons. 1. The dal is from old stock. It was not soaked enough. 2. The dal was not ground till smooth. Ensure no grain of dal is remaining in the batter. 3. While frying, the vada must have been very thin or it was over-fried.

Medu vada... the best south indian snack. So crispy outer covering and soft from inside. The chillies, curry leaves, peppercorns gives a nice aroma and flavour to the vadas.. Serve it hot.. with dipped in sambhar. This is a must try recipe.
