  • Now gently slide few madu vadas in the hot oil, don't crowd the pan else they make not get cooked properly.
  • After few minutes turn the side of the medu vada and cook from other side till It become golden and crisp. don't turn it more then 2-3 times else they may break .

Notes

Note-
  1. If you have difficulty in shaping then dip your fingers in oil regularly while shaping.
  2. If the medu vadas are breaking while frying then add some more rajgiri flour in the dough.
  3. Coconut is optional ,if not available then just skip it.
  4. you can cook the samak rice in an open pan instead of cooker but then it may need some extra water. cook till it become soft and mushy.
  5. You can also shallow fry or use an air fryer instead of deep frying the medu vadas.
