Vada Pav is Mumbai’s most popular street food, people in Mumbai can get this very easily, its available in every cafe, restaurant, street, or home also, yes every resident of Mumbai can easily make vada pav in just 15-20 minutes. This is more delicious and tasty with Garlic coconut chutney, green chutney, and sweet tamarind chutney
I am born in Mumbai so I knew it is used for breakfast, lunch or even some people eat this in dinner also because it’s very less price and it full you in just 1 vada pav. There are many more PAV dishes are available like Pav Bhaji, pakoda pav, samosa pav, burji Pav etc
Anyway coming back to the recipe, This recipe has 4 main ingredients – the vada, the dry garlic coconut chutney, the green chutney, and the sweet tamarind chutney. You can skip the green Chutney and sweet tamarind chutney but I highly recommend not to skip the garlic chutney.
This is a long recipe and does take some amount of prep work. But trust me, one bite into this deliciousness and it will all seem worth it! chutneys you can prepare any time and store in a dry airtight box in the fridge and use whenever you like to make vada pav, it saves your time.
Below is Aalu /potatos mixture for Vada Pav which is look like similar after adding all.
PAV In the US, some cities have Indian Bakeries such as “Hot Breads” that make the traditional Indian Pav. If you have one near you, do grab their fresh soft buns, For the rest of us who may not have easy access to the traditional Pav, buy buns or soft rolls from grocery stores that have 2 grams of sugar or less. I prefer buying soft potato buns, or burgers buns.
