Medu Vada's Hole: Not Just Tradition, But Culinary Engineering for Perfect Taste
- •Medu vada's iconic hole is a long-standing design, traditionally made from urad dal batter.
- •The hole significantly increases the surface area exposed to hot oil, ensuring even cooking throughout the vada.
- •It prevents the center from remaining undercooked while the exterior crisps up.
- •The design allows oil to circulate, preventing sogginess and creating the desired crunchy outside, soft inside texture.
- •Vadas with holes cook faster, absorb less oil, making them lighter and healthier than those without.
Why It Matters: The hole in medu vada is a practical culinary design ensuring even cooking, perfect texture, and less oil absorption.
