Wada Pav

I think all of us agree that Wada Pav is perhaps one of Mumbai's tastiest street food which we relish as an on the go snack or sometimes in desperate situation even as a meal. While buying it off the street vendor gives it the Mumbai flavour, I am sure we would all welcome a cleaner healthier alternative.

So here's a simple recipe to make mouth-watering Wada Pav in your own kitchen with quality ingredients and fried in oil that's good for your heart to enjoy on any occasion with friends and family.



Ingredients
4 medium sized potatoes boiled and cut into fine pieces
1 onion finely chopped
8 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 green chillies finely chopped
1/2" piece ginger finely chopped
6-8 Curry leaves
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp amchoor powder
Salt to taste
Few coriander leaves finely chopped
One cup flour
1 pinch soda bicarb
Oil for frying

Procedure
Put 3 tbsp oil in a kadai. When hot add mustard seeds, curry leaves, ginger, garlic and chillies. When mustard seeds stop spluttering, add chopped onion. Stir for a couple of minutes. Add potato and other spices. Mix well and keep on slow flame for a few minutes. Remove, cool and make small ball like ladoos.

Make gram flour batter with water, salt chilli powder and soda bi-carb. Heat oil in a kadai. Dip each ball in batter and deep fry till golden brown on all sides.
