ingredients required 

All you need is onions, cumin seeds, grated coconut and salt. Put them in the medu wada maker with enough water to cover the mixture and push them down using your hand. Add rice, curd and chilli powder if you like more spice. Turn on the machine for about 10 minutes or until it stops steaming; this makes about four medu wadas. You can also use plastic medu wada makers available online. These are easy to clean and store away when not in use. They come with non-stick coating which ensures that the batter does not stick to the plates of the machine while cooking. There are two types of medu wada machines: stainless steel and plastic versions. Stainless steel versions last longer than their plastic counterparts but they do require some degree of effort to wash them since they cannot be submerged in water unlike the latter ones. Plastic medu wada makers are easier to maintain but last only a few months before breaking.

Place the rolled-out dough on the medu wada maker stainless steel plate or plastic plate and press down slightly with your fingers so that the hot oil seeps through to both sides of the dough. 4. Remove from medu wada maker and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown
