Vada Pav

I had bought Pav for Pav Bhaji and left over Pav was in the fridge. I was not getting how to finish left over Pav. All of a sudden got an idea to prepare Vada Pav. Vada Pav is our Indian/Desi Burger and easily available on road side/streets in Mumbai and Pune and it’s popular in Maharashtra.

Ingredients:-

Pav/Buns	6
Butter/Oil	For toasting

Boiled Potato	3
Finely chopped onion	1
Chopped Ginger	1 tbsp
Mustard Seeds	1/2 tsp

For Batter
Besan	1/2 Cup
Rice Flour	1 tbsp
Red Chilli powder	1 tbsp
Salt	To taste

Pav/Buns – 6
Butter/oil for toasting

I used chutney powder/ gun powder instead of Red chilli sauce and left over spinach chutney instead of green chutney.

Method:

Step 1 : Peel the skin from the boiled potato and mash it.

Step 2 : Add all the ingredients into mashed potato and mix well.
 
Step 3 : Make balls and keep it aside as shown in the pic.
 
Step 4 : Mix all the ingredients .to prepare a batter in a bowl
 
Step 5 : Heat oil for frying the vada
 
Step 6 : Dip the ball in the batter and fry it in oil turning both the sides until it becomes golden brown
 
Step 7 : Heat tawa and add a spoon of butter/oil into it. Split the bun in middle and toast the buns on tawa. Spread the green chutney/spinach chutney on one side and the red chutney/gun powder on the other side. 

Step 8 : Place the vada in between and serve hot with more green chutney or Tomato ketchup.
