Print Recipe

Batata vada and Vada pav are famous fast food from streets of Mumbai. Batata vada can be served seperately with chutney but when it is combined with a pav (soft bread roll) and spicy chutney, it becomes even more tempting. I still remember the first time I ate a vada pav in Lonawala. Lonawala is small town in outskirts of Pune, India. Me and my family drove down from Pune to Lonawala on a rainy day. We all enjoyed the trip eating Vada pav, chikkis and drenching completely in rain :)..

Batata vada is a fried potato dumpling flavored with garlic and spices. You got to make these dumplings before you proceed to make vada pav..
