Mumbai is known for many things but first among equals is its diverse street food. It's probably what defines the city - fast and straight forward. And first among the street food variety is the Vada Pav. Always been a big fan of this simple yet delicious street food, so difficult to find a perfect one in Delhi. So, we had to recreate one at home to have the freshly made potato vada/bonda with a lipsmacking red chutney in simple bouncy buns. Simple delight!
