Highlights
- Learn to cook Vada Pav with a secret recipe in this session streamed live from a local household of Dharavi, Mumbai
- Your host will assist you all the way and give you an insight into the spices used
Description
In this live session, we will make Vada Pav, one of the most popular street foods in Mumbai and I would love to introduce you to the secret recipe that I learned from my mother. The dish is basically made of deep-fried potato dumplings placed inside a bread bun (pav) cut into two halves and served with one or more chutneys and green chili. This Maharashtrian delicacy is served in almost all hotels and roadside eateries, and I will teach you an authentic version that is the tastiest of them all!
