Vada Pav Recipe
Vada Pav Recipe, better to call it “Indian Burger”. It is a popular street food of Maharashtra and very popular in Mumbai. While travelling in Maharastra, I never miss a chance to have a Vada Pav with a cup of Masala Tea in “Dhaba” (a small street café). Although it is a trendy Maharastrian snack, but now a days it has become popular in all parts of India. I was really surprised when I found a Vada Pav stall in Lucrene a city of Switzerland while travelling there. This actually shows the popularity of dish.
Vada Pav Recipe is basically a sandwich of “batata vada” or “aalo vada” that is filled in between the two halves of the Pav. Tha aalo vada or batata vada is made up of a spicy potato filing deep fried in a thick gram flour batter. A soft pav is used for the preparation, which makes the preparation delicious. One of the striking part of this dish is dry garlic chutney that comes with it. It gives the real authentic taste to the Vada Pav. It is served with green chutney and is relished by almost every Indian. Fried green chilli is also a traditional combination of Vada Pav.
Although Vada Pav Recipe is a popular breakfast, but people love to have it as brunch also. It is delicious snack and easy to cook. I am writing a detail recipe of it.
