For the vadas- Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai and add the mustard seeds.
- When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida and curry leaves and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
- Add the ginger, green chillies and garlic and sauté on a medium flame for a few more seconds.
- Add the potatoes, salt and turmeric powder, mix well and cook for a minute, while stirring continuously.
- Add the coriander and mix well.
- Remove from the flame and keep aside to cool.
- Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round.
- Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai, dip each vada in the prepared batter and deep-fry in hot oil till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on absorbent paper and keep aside.
How to serve- Slit a pav horizontally, apply a little khajur imli ki chutney, green chutney and sukhi lehsun ki chutney on the inner sides of the pav and stuff with a hot vada.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more vada pavs.
- Serve immediately with fried green chillies.
Handy tip:- Deep-fry the green chillies in hot oil till they become crisp and slightly whitish in colour. Drain on absorbent paper and serve with vada pav.
