Vada Pav is one among the most popular street food in Mumbai. Though i have not been to Mumbai, i have heard from my friends about this Vada pav. Personally i am not a great fan of this Vada pav . Varun told me to make this for his evening snack one day. The reason being he got fascinated towards the name "Vada Pav" , when his friends told him. Anyway, i made this today and waiting for him to come back from school to eat his snack. I got the recipe from my friend J, and i little bit tweaked it according to my taste.Though the post may be elaborate, the recipe is simple . You can make the dry red chutney in advance. Burger buns or Pav buns can be used. I used burger buns as i don't get pav buns here.

- Heat oil for deep frying. Dip the potato balls in the batter and carefully drop them in the oil. Deep fry them .
- Drain them in a kitchen towel.
For the Dry Garlic Red chutney:
- In a pan add oil and add garlic. Roast them till they become golden brown. Keep it aside.

Let's see how to arrange the Vada Pav.
- Slit the buns , but not fully. Let the edges be stay connected to each other.
- Spread dry red chutney to the base of the bun.
- Place a potato ball (deep fried potato balls) inside this.
- A fried green chilli can be placed near this for extra spiciness.
- Some people spread green chutney on the top inner portion of the bun, but my friend told , not to do like that. If you want you can serve with green chutney.
Note:
- In the red chutney you can add 1/2 tblsp of roasted white sesame seeds while grinding.
- Instead of deep frying the vadas you can cook them over the paniyaram pan, which i do generally for Koftas.
