In Mumbai Vada pav is most famous street snack . It is affordable, delicious and available in Mumbai 24 by 7. Wada pav is served with special chutney and fried whole green chilli. To make vada pav chutney just saute 8-9 garlic cloves and 2-3 tbsp of peanuts. Now in the same pan saute 1/2 cup of dried grated coconut. Now blend all the three with salt and kashmiri red chilli powder. Try not adding water while grinding. You can store vada pav chutney in fridge in air-tight container for few weeks.
Vada pav is mostly deep fried. To make it healthy I made it in appam pan. This is a non-fried recipe and trust me you cannot differentiate between fried vada pav and these non fried vada pavs.
