Batata Vada is one of the most popular Mumbai street food dishes; it’s cheap, delicious, and filling. In Mumbai, you’ll find a vendor on every other street corner selling Batata Vada. It is typically served inside a bread roll (Pav) with chutney. Some vendors serve it with Spicy Garlic Chutney and others serve it with Tamarind Chutney or Green Chutney. Growing up in Mumbai, during my long evening walks with my childhood buddy, we always made a pit stop at the local Vada Pav stall for this delicious snack. Batata Vada was also a common feature among the snacks served at a tea party. A spicy Batata Vada with a sweet Masala Chai is the perfect combination to tantalize your taste buds. This recipe has many steps, but is relatively easy to make (assuming you are comfortable with frying foods).
