Cooking Steps
Preparation
Step 1 : Prepare a batter
Mix besan, baking soda, salt, chilli powder, asafoetida, turmeric powder and 1/2 cup of water.
Mix well with a whisk to form a thick consistency and keep aside.
Step 2 : Prepare the vada
In a pan, heat 2 tbsp. of oil. Add mustard seeds, jeera, ginger-garlic paste, green chilli paste, asafoetida, turmeric, salt and sauté for a few minutes.
Next, peel the skin of the boiled potatoes, mash and add it to the pan.
Sauté for few minutes until the masala gets mixed with the potato mash.
Put off the flame, add coriander and lemon juice, mix well and allow it to cool.
Once cooled, make big lemon size balls and keep it ready to fry.
Step 3 : Frying
In a deep bottomed pan, pour oil for frying.
Take one potato ball and dip in the besan (chick pea) flour and slowly drop this besan coated potato ball in hot oil. Fry until it turns golden in colour and take it out.
Fry all the balls and serve immediately or fry when you are ready to eat, this tastes good when it is hot.
Step 4 : Vada pav powder
Take 6 to 7 kadmiri red chillies. Add a cup of dry fried dry coconut scrapings (copra) and 6 to 7 garlic cloves with skin.
Add little salt to this and blend in a mixer jar. This powder can be stored for one month. You can add black salt in place of salt for a tangy taste.
Step 5 : Green chilli fry
For the green chilli fry, slit the chilli, remove the seeds, fill in the vada pav powder and deep fry in oil.
Step 6 : How to serve
Take the pav and slice it horizontally. Do not slice it fully.
Smear some green chutney and red chutney.
Smear the special vada pav powder.
Place the fried potato vada and one stuffed green chilli and serve.
You can roughly toast the pav using a tsp of butter for the juiciness.
