Vada Pav

Filed under: authentic recipe, health, indian burger, vada pav — chandneed @ 6:55 am

VADA PAV …..listening to the name my mouth starts watering…….Vada Pav is life for any mumbaikar….an all time favorite snack which u can grab anytime and munch it…even if you are in the local train or walking down the street. Vada pav is not the seasonal thing…one can have vada pav irrespective of season or timing ………In the college canteen while on a break, while roaming with friends, even when out of office or especially when Mumbai local trains are late and waiting for the train vada pav is the best option for all I have seen. Especially with hot and spicy garlic chutney and onions. It’s so tasty that one can’t resist eating.

Basically vada pav is a maharastrian dish. But it is found almost everywhere and people enjoy with leisure…Today I tried making vadapav at home as I am basically from Mumbai. so I MISS vada pav so much here that this time I thought let me use my hands on it as I have seen my mother making it so easily and use to be so delicious ….And as tried out the recipe my mother use to make it turned to be amazingly yummy…………so thought lets share with all who are true fans of vada pav…and those who are not “which I highly doubt” I bet they would love it once they eat VADA PAV.
