About the book:

It is Manvinder’s first time eating a Medu vada in Bengaluru, and lo, behold, he is instantly hooked to the fluffy, crunchy ball of goodness! Manvinder refuses to eat anything else and the whole family leaves no stone unturned trying to recreate the Medu vada. Written by Riddhi Maniar Doda, Manvinder's Medu Vada is all about that hilarious struggle.
