Authentic vada pav is a popular street food from Mumbai, India. It consists of a deep-fried potato fritter (vada) sandwiched between a soft bun (pav). The vada is made with a mixture of mashed potatoes, spices, and herbs, coated in a chickpea flour batter and deep-fried until golden brown. It is served with a traditional chutney made from garlic, chili, and peanuts, along with fried green chilies for an extra kick of spice.
