Vada Pav (Potato Buns)
Vada Pav (sometimes known as wada pav) is a very popular vegetarian fast food from Maharashtra, India. It’s a fantastic, spicy little sandwich that consists of a BATATA VADA (mashed potato fritter) sandwiched between two slices of a pav (mini bun). The addition of various spicy chutneys take this humble sandwich to a whole other level and each mouthful packs quite a punch in terms of flavour. For sure this is a MUST TRY recipe! The preparations are a little labour intensive due to the many different things that are then assembled together, but the results are well worth the extra effort.
Ingredients
- 12 Mini Pav/Buns alternatively you can buy the buns ready made if you like
- 12 Batata Vada/Potato Kachoris

You can lightly toast the bun for some added crispness. Apply a little of each of the liquid chutneys on the inside of the buns.Take one batata vada andpress it slightly to flattern it onto the bottom half of the bun. Form a small dip on the potato’s top by pressing with your thumb. This will be a nice resting place for all those lovely chutneys. Now smother the batata vada with more chutneys, topping them off with a teaspoon of the crunchy peanut and garlic chutney (I’ve heard that a vada pav is not ‘truly’ authentic without this!). Cover the top half of the bun and flatten gently.Now DIG RIGHT IN!! This goes well with an icy cold drink.Enjoy! Â

Yes you can although because aata is denser than all purpose flour, results may be a little bit heavier or not as light as with AP flour. Although of course they will be healthier.
