In the video, we first see different ingredients being chopped: onions, green chillies and garlic cloves. The minister is seen mashing boiled potatoes with his hands. In the next shot, he is observed adding the onions to hot oil in a kadhai. He sautees them with what looks to be chopped ginger. This masala is then combined with the mashed potatoes. Separately, the batter for the coating is also prepared by mixing besan and water.

The minister shapes the potato mixture into small balls and keeps them ready. Once they are all done, he submerges them in the besan batter. Later, he coats them properly and pops them into a large kadhai filled with oil for deep frying. The vadas sizzle as they cook and turn golden brown. Finally, the minister relished the freshly fried treats with some green chutney. Other people around him are also seen serving themselves the vada pav with the chutney. Watch the full video here:
