About Vada Pav

Vada Pav is a Mumbai classic street food which has deep fried potato fritters sandwiched between a pav bun with red chutney and green chutney. The potato fritters can be either deep fried or tawa fried just like I did. Vada here refers to the potato fritters and Pav is Pav bun.

Vada Pav is spicy and packed with flavors and textures. I just love the potato fritters as such so make a little extra to much it separately. The garlic chutney is the highlight here so do not miss, it is super flavorful and spicy.

This is very famous chat in north India especially Mumbai and Kolkata. If you don't get pav buns go ahead with normal buns.

I love paneer bhurji in wraps and rolls. So reserved little for this sake itself and made these rolls. You can keep the stuffing in middle and close from oth the sides and prick a tooth pick in the middle and serve but wrapping in the above said method avoids filling from coming out and its easy to hold too. The recipe is the same for paneer bhurji too just filling differs and you can find paneer bhurji recipe here.

These are mildly spicy making it perfect for kids. You can also serve with home made white butter.
