When you have made soft fluffy homemade Ladi-pav, it’s compulsory to make vada pav or pav bhaji!
So here is authentic Mumbai special Vada pav recipe by my cousin Jitesh Jain.

This measurement will give you around 8-9 medium size vada.

- 1/2 tsp Udad dal

Procedure
- Boil potato and mash it with hands (shouldn’t be completely mash) keep it aside and let it cool
- Grind green chilli and garlic together don’t make paste it should be coarsely

I have tried vada pav in mumbai but found it to be okay-ish and paling in comparison to the veg burger style we get here in Delhi’s streef food!
but for my mumbai friends, i think this dish will make the perfect welcome!I will try this out.
Thanks ? do share your feedback
I love having vada pav, i tried the authentic mumbai one when i visited in 2018. This recipe is useful and we prepare aloo rolls in the same way at home.
This is an easy recipe to prepare ladi pav at home and enjoy with bhaji or any other curry or veggies. I would surely try it soon when I start baking.
Super yum indeed they look. I am surely going to give it a try at the earliest my dear, thanks for sharing the recipe
The pictures of Mumbai vada PAC looks absolutely delicious. This is easy recipe to follow. I’ve never tried vada PAC before, will try this recipe soon.
You are making me drool badly, Neha. Vada pav is my husband’s favourite snack but we have never tried making it at home. I will make it some time and then surprise him. Thanks for the recipe!
Today I had made Vada Pao. Your pics are looking so tempting. Mumbai Vada Pao is so famous .
I am a big fan of vada pav. In fact its my favourite food of Mumbai. Amd that vatata vada tastes so delicious on its own, that I can just have it without the pav also.
Omg! I am drooling.. lovely pictures. I haven’t had vada pav for quite some time now.. it’s time to make some
This Mumbai style vada pav sounds absolutely delectable!! Yum! I can not wait to try this recipe at home and I will definitely share the results with you.
Oh my God! You have made me drool, Neha! I love Vada Pav and miss it so much! I guess I’ll use your cousin Jitesh’s recipe to make myself some, since I have no idea when i’ll be able to travel to Bombay next
I haven’t had wada pav in the longest time and am craving for it after seeing your pics. Will follow your recipe and make them soon.
We love vada pav as a family. I make it almost in every ten days. Easy and tasty snack. I make the filling in a different way, will try your recipe too.
Seeing those vadas frying made my mouth water. Eating vadas in the street has it’s own charm even though we can make it at home.
Tempting!! I love vada pav. Made it last week only. Garlic chutney on one side and green on the other, accompanied with tasty vada…wow .it’s heaven.
Same feelings ?
Yea it’s one of my favourite
