Potato means 'batata' in Marathi. Batata Vada is one of the
most popular Maharashtrian snacks. When
Batata Vada is sandwiched between butter fried and green chutney smeared pav, it becomes a Vada Pav, another one of
Mumbai’s famous street food snack. Mumbaikar’s relish these yummy vada pav on almost daily basis. I’m a total
vada pav lover myself and they are always on my first to eat list whenever I visit
Mumbai. You can have them for breakfast, lunch, evening snacks or tea time too. I highly recommend these addictive vada’s
to those who haven’t tried them.Do try them and I bet you will always crave for more.
