Vada pav

Hi Friends


I have heard a lot about Vada Pav. We all know that Vada Pav is the most famous roadside snacks. The Vada is made of a spicy potato filling deep fried in a gram flour batter. Along with a hot and spicy garlic chutney, last month I got a chance to visit Mumbai. As I am a big foodie so i decided i should try each and every road side snacks of Mumbai especially Vada Pav,Misal Pav,and many more. So Once i came back to Bangalore i thought og giving it a try. So here is my version of Vada Pav. Hope you will like it,
