Using your hands or a spatula, mix the batter continuously for 2-3 mins to smoothen it.
Now to the batter add chopped onions, green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, salt and black pepper powder

Mix all the ingredients together to form the batter
Now grease a piece of butter paper, and take a portion of the batter and pat it over the butter paper , use water if required. Make a small hole in between
P.S – The reason there is a hole in between is to cook well from inside.
Heat enough Oil in a Kadhai and once it hot, Lower the flame and drop the medu vadas

P. S – Do not turn around immediately, Turn over after 45 secs to 1 min
