If you go across the streets of mumbai or if you ever thing about chats and street foods, the first thing which comes to your mind is ‘BATATA VADA’ or ‘VADA PAV’ as it is called my most of the people..I totally love it anytime of the day..A fluffy soft buttery buns stuffed with a crispy spicy potato bondas, we don’t stop at that, this goodness gets all the chutneys which a chat should have, all also a final adorement of a fried green chilli which totally makes it.

The cool thing in this is you could fill it with anything as you wish..You could fill with onion bhajjis, potato bhajjis and many more..I made both of them and will post them soon..I actually loved the onion bhajji stuffed one a lot..This makes a meal by itself, you can have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or with evening tea..This recipe calls for all the three chutney which you need for any chat items, you can find all the recipes in my blog. Traditionally this is served with a fried chilli , but if you can’t handle it you can skip that.
I hope you love it and let me know what you think..

    Wada pav and Mumbai go hand in hand. This is one thing I miss here in US. There is wada pav stall practically in every street, but each vendor has his loyal customers and they all vouch that they eat at the best wada pav center. Yours look equally tempting complete with a cup of tea.
    Love Ash.

    Your pictorials are so helpful! If I may, one suggestion for the batter is to use Club Soda to mix instead of water – makes them ever so crispy. Keep those recipes coming, girl! 😀
