Batata Vadas with yummmy coriander chutney

Sorry guys since this party was arranged at a short notice couldnt arrange for any drinks to go alongwith it ;)

Heres the receipe for Vada Pav :

1. Boil Potatoes and then mash them

2. Time to add the masala : Add salt, green chillies and ginger paste, turmeric, little amount of sugar, few drops of lemon juice

3. Now time for the tempering : Take little amt of oil in the small katori used for tadka...once the oil heats up add hing, urad dal and curry leaves and add this tadka to the mashed potatoes

4. Now mix all the masala into the mashed potatoes and make small round balls

5. Take besan in a vessel and add salt and water. Keep the consistency medium..not too thick, neither too thin

6. Now dip the batata vadas into this besan batter and fry thm.

7. Take Ladi pav and cut it into half at the centre till abt more than 3/4. Dont cut the entire pav into half...let it be joint at one end.

8. Apply a nice layer of butter on both sides of the pav. Top it with coriander chutney and then dry lasoon chutney

9. Now place 1 vada on one side of the pav and close the other side...tada...vada pav is ready!!!

P.S You can also fry the left over batter by just sprinkling it in the oil...it tastes yummmmm...dont know if I am making sense!!!

N how can I end this post without mentioning some of the best Vada Pav joints in Bombay!!!

Wanna have some sevpuri?

Bombay is known for its yummy yummy street food like sev puri, pani puri, bhelpuri (my mouth is already watering), vada pav, pav bhaji, dahi puri....yumm yumm yummm....though nowadays there are chains as well like Kailash Parbat which serve these so called street food and chat items...Kailash Parbat does serve some yummy things but the taste which you will get at those small street-side bhelpuriwalas cannot be matched!! and mind you some of them are very hygenic as well....like this one bhelpuri corner near my place which serves one of the most yummy sevpuri, pani puri, bhelpuri etc....and at a very reasonable price...

And for the foodie that I am, I go there quite often to satisfy my hunger pangs and taste buds and just while I was having some yummy sevpuri last week I tght of sharing some with you guys....but only through pics sadly :)



Its topped with some yummmy kacchi kairi & chana dal :)





Yummy Yummy...isnt it



And they pack you some sukha sev-kurmura along with your items....

There are some variants of sevpuri in other parts of India like the papdi chaat in Delhi which is equally yummy too but like a true mumbaikar for me sev puri rocks!!

I hope u guys enjoyed the virtual sevpuri I served....
