Vada Pav is a popular street food in India, particularly in the state of Maharashtra. It consists of a spiced potato fritter (vada) placed inside a small, soft bread roll (pav). The vada is made by mashing boiled potatoes and mixing them with spices like green chilies, ginger, garlic, and coriander. This mixture is then shaped into round patties, coated in gram flour batter, and deep-fried until golden and crispy.
The pav, often toasted with butter, is sliced and stuffed with the vada. It is commonly served with various chutneys, such as tamarind chutney and green chutney, along with fried green chilies or garlic chutney. Vada Pav is a flavorful and filling snack, celebrated for its delicious combination of textures and tastes.
