Here Are The Ingredients You'll Need To Make Vada Pav At Home:
1. Potatoes
The vada for this tasty snack is prepared using potatoes. Opt for fresh and good-quality potatoes, as they will give you the best results. Wash them nicely, boil them, and then mash them well using the back of a spoon or your hands.
2. Spices
Once the potatoes are well mashed, you need to combine them with the masalas. Red chilli powder, mustard seeds, haldi, and hing are some key spices you must stock up on. Apart from these, you'll also require curry leaves, ginger-garlic paste, and rice flour.
3. Oil
The vada needs to be deep-fried in oil. You can use any regular vegetable oil for this purpose. Just make sure it doesn't have a strong flavour. Keep the flame low to medium and fry until crispy and golden brown in colour.
4. Pav
Pav is the second key ingredient in preparing this snack. Considering this, you must ensure it is of good quality. Always choose pav buns that are soft and fluffy, or else your vada pav won't taste as great.
5. Butter
To ensure your vada pav turns out flavourful, you can't miss adding butter to the buns. Add a dollop while you're heating them on the tawa, ensuring they get well-coated with it. Place the vada in between, top it with garlic masala, and serve with green chillies.
