5 easy steps to make perfect Vada Pav at home

Prepare the Potato Filling: Boil and mash potatoes. Sauté mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, and turmeric in oil. Add the mashed potatoes, mix well, and set aside.

Make the Batter: In a bowl, mix gram flour (besan), salt, turmeric, and water to form a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the potato filling.

Shape and Fry the Vadas: Shape the potato mixture into balls, dip them into the batter, and deep-fry until golden and crispy.

Toast the Pav: Slice the pav (buns) in half, apply butter, and toast them lightly on a hot pan until golden brown.

Assemble the Vada Pav: Place a fried vada inside the pav. Add spicy garlic chutney, green chutney, or tamarind chutney as per your taste. Enjoy!
