This is made possible by modifying the cooking method slightly, avoiding deep-frying, and replacing the refined flour Laddi Pav with a wholesome whole wheat one.
Now you can relish Healthy Vada Pav with much less guilt. Just take care to serve immediately to preserve the texture of the vadas and enjoy them occasionally.
A glass of Kokum Sherbet or Piyush is very refreshing after snacking on vada pavs.
