What it is

MTR traces its roots to the Mavalli Tiffin Room restaurant, opened in Bengaluru in 1924 by Yagnanarayana Maiya. MTR Foods is headquartered in Bengaluru and makes breakfast mixes like this one.

Medu vadai is the ring-shaped fritter every South Indian tiffin plate is built around: crisp and brown outside, soft and airy inside. Normally that means soaking and grinding urad dal; here you only add water, rest and shape. Choosing between MTR breakfast mixes? Vada mix for a crisp fried side; rava idli for a steamed breakfast; masala rava idly when you want the seasoning already in.

Tip: Keep a bowl of water beside you and wet your palm before every vadai. The dough will not stick and the hole comes out clean.

Goes well with: Sakthi Sambar Powder, Annam Daria (Pottukadalai), Heera Curry Leaves
