Introduction

Vada pav, also known as wada pao, is a vegetarian fast food dish that originated in Maharashtra. A deep fried potato dumpling is sandwiched inside a bread bun (pav) that has been cut almost in half through the center. It's typically served with a green chili pepper and one or more chutneys. Although it began as a low-cost street food in Mumbai, it is now found in food stalls and restaurants all over the country. It's also known as Bombay burger because of its roots and physical resemblance to a burger.


Vada pav is one of Maharashtra's most popular snacks, and it is said to be a part of Marathi culture.
