6 Tasty Twists To The Classic Vada Pav

If we had to pick one street food dish that aptly captures the pulse of Mumbai city, a plate of Vada Pav would be it. Maharashtra's favourite street food preparation, just the imagery of a golden, spice-laden, deep-friend potato patty wedged between two fluffy pieces of bread, is enough to make our mouths water uncontrollably. And once you visit any city in Maharasthra and spot a delicious-smelling vada pav stall in nearly every nook and cranny of the streets, it becomes obvious that a lot of people share the same sentiment for the dish. 

 

Of course, devouring a plate of Vada Pav was a lot easier before a global pandemic changed the landscape of life. Now, stepping out onto the streets and following your stomach to whichever stall it pleases, is riddled with feelings of worry, paranoia and safety concerns. And suffice it to say, the reluctance is entirely understandable. What isn't, however, is giving up on tasting a delightful Vada Pav recipe altogether. But hoẉ, you ask? With these simple and scrumptious homemade Vada Pav recipes of course!
