Description
Vada pav is a delicious Indian street food dish with deep fried potato balls (vada) and chutney in a bun (pav).
Method
Step 1 of 5
Place the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, until very soft, and drain well. Tip back into the pan and mash.
Step 2 of 5
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan on medium high heat and heat the mustard seeds until they begin to pop. Add the curry leaves, ginger and garlic paste, half of the chilli powder and half of the turmeric and cook for 1 minute. Add the mashed potatoes, mix well to coat with the spices and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in chopped coriander and remove from the heat.
Step 3 of 5
Let the potato mix cool. Shape into large balls with your hands and set aside. Whisk the chickpea flour and remaining chilli powder and turmeric together in a large bowl. Whisk in enough water to make a thick and smooth batter.
Step 4 of 5
Heat oil in a large, deep pan. Dip each potato ball in batter and drop into the oil, working in batches. Deep fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden. Drain the vada on kitchen paper.
Step 5 of 5
Serve the vada in burger buns with mango chutney on top.
