Some snacks just hit the spot every time. Medu Vada with Sambhar is one of them. You get four crispy fried urad dal vada, made with traditional Indian spices, served hot with sambhar and coconut chutney on the side. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and easy to keep eating.
If you are looking for south Indian food in Pakenham that is quick, tasty, and made properly, this is the dish to try.
What’s In the Order
- Medu Vada (4 pc) — round, golden lentil vada made from urad dal batter, crispy outside and soft inside
- Spices — cumin, curry leaves, green chilli, and black pepper mixed through the batter, so the flavour is in every bite
- Sambhar — a warm lentil and vegetable soup made with tamarind, served for dipping
- Coconut Chutney — a cool, creamy chutney that goes well with the heat of the vada
You can choose Regular or NOG, and pick your spice level — Spicy, Medium, or Mild.
Why People Order Medu Vada
Medu Vada is eaten right across South India, at breakfast, as a snack, or as part of a dosa meal. The mix of crispy vada, hot sambhar, and coconut chutney is hard to beat.
We make our vada with traditional urad dal batter and fry it fresh to order. That is what makes the difference between south Indian cuisine that’s average and south Indian cuisine that’s actually good.
If you have grown up eating Indian food or you are trying it for the first time, this is a good place to start.
Make It a Bigger Meal
Four pieces of Medu Vada is a great start on its own, but you can add more to the order:
- Masala Dosa — crispy dosa with garlic chutney and spiced potato filling
- Mysore Dosa (Spicy) — double chutney, extra heat, spicy potato filling
- Idli with Sambhar (4 pc) — soft steamed rice cakes with the same sambhar
- Idli and Medu Vada Combo (2 pc each) — get both if you can’t decide
