Medu vada is a very popular South Indian snack recipe. It is usually served for breakfast in the southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It is served with sambar and a coconut chutney on the side and sometimes even along with idlis. These vadas are shaped pretty much like doughnuts but that it is where the similarity ends. Unlike doughnuts, this is a savoury dish.
