Vada Pav | Wada Pao 

One of the popular street food of mumbai that no one can resist. It is sold in (Thelas) stalls and restaurants. A hot cup of Tea and vada pav makes a good rainy day snack 

This is made by sandwiching potato vada (which is a spicy potato filling) between pao (burger ) bread garlic chuntey, green and tamarind chutney.

It is served with fried green chilis.

Chura - One of the thing i really like in vada pav is CHURA. chura is drops of gram flour batter when frying vada in oil. or you can make it separate.

Garlic chutney can be made ahead for this recipe and stored in fridge. 

Aloo vada can be deep fried and freeze for using later.
