Vada Pav Recipe | Vada Pav With Spicy Dry Garlic Chutney Recipe | Vada Pav(Mumbai Street Food Recipe)

Vada Pav is a popular street food of Mumbai, nothing but a soft Pav buns served with Batata Vada, green chutney and spicy dry garlic chutney. When I made this last year I tried with Homemade Pav Buns and Chaat Garlic Chutney, that time I was so tired and stressed because I baked Pav Buns and with the fresh pav made Masala Pav and Vada Pav(with Batata Vada) all on same day. It was really a tiring day and now I am wondering how I made everything single handedly on one day?! I didn't even concentrate on presentation and for name sake clicked few pictures, when compared to this new Vada Pav pictures, the pictures I took on that was too simple. Fortunately or Unfortunately, due to my laptop crash all my food pictures got deleted. So, now I am preparing all those recipes again with new and fresh pictures.

This time I went for Instant method and used store bought Pav Buns and instead of chaat Garlic Chutney, prepared the dry garlic chutney. The highlight of this Vada Pav is the spicy dry garlic chutney, this garlic chutney is versatile and you can use it in any chaat recipe or just sprinkle in your favorite raita or plain beaten yogurt and enjoy with paratha or rotis.
