The following ingredients are needed to make Mumbai-Style Vada Pav with Spiced Chutney:

  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • Water, as needed
  • Veg oil, for frying
  • 4-6 pav buns
  • Spiced chutney, for serving (see below for recipe)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, ginger paste, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Divide the mixture into 6-8 portions, depending on how large you want your vadas to be. Shape each portion into a round ball and then flatten it slightly into a patty shape.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the yogurt and water to the bowl, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Heat the veg oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, dip each patty into the batter, coating it completely, and then gently drop it into the oil. Fry the vadas until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain the vadas on paper towels.
  5. To make the Spiced Chutney, combine the chopped green chilies, cilantro, mint leaves, garlic, ginger paste, lemon juice, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding the water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
  6. To assemble the Vada Pav, slice the pav buns in half and toast them lightly. Place a few slices of the fried vada on the bottom half of the bun, followed by a dollop of the Spiced Chutney. Top with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

Notes

To achieve the perfect crispy exterior and fluffy interior for the vada, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. Also, handle the vadas gently to avoid breaking. For an extra crispy coating, you can chill the shaped vadas in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying. Serve immediately with spiced chutney for the best experience.
