Recipe for Batata Vada & Kandha Batata Bhajjia

If you live or have lived in Mumbai or anywhere in Maharashtra, it’s just not
possible for you to not have enjoyed Garma GaramVada Pavs and Kandha Batata
Bhajjias.

You will mostly find Vada Pav stalls at almost every corner of the Streets of
Mumbai. For some, it is a meal and for some it’s a snack.Being one of the most
economical snacks available, it is Mumbai’s specialty and one cannot and should
not leave Mumbai without trying out this snack.

My Mum prepares these Tea Time snacks at Home very often.But, when you have a
cart right next to your building selling these, you’re always tempted to go and
purchase it from there.

Here in Dubai, with absolutely no street carts available,your best and only
option is to make these Hot yummies at Home.. Although in Dubai, we get each and
everything available at fancy restaurants, the Street Food emotion is a totally
different one.  The one thing I miss most about Mumbai is it’s Street Food.

The recipes for the Batata Vadas and Bhajjias are my Mum’s and for the Red
chutney, I took some tips from my Maharashtrian friend Shweta Kalkar. The only
thing different I did was that I added roasted peanuts to the chutney because I
used to see my neighbour doing that.
