Vada Pav<\/h2>\n

Rumour has it, that the love between Vada Pav and Bambaiyas began in 1971 with Ashok Vaidya’s Vada Pav Thela, located outside Dadar station. The puffed up pavs are stuffed with golden-fried spicy potato (or as they call, batata) and are served with a dash of tamarind and coriander chutneys. Out of all the other mid-day snacks, the soul of Mumbai lies in Vada Pav, so much that even Baba Sehgal sang about it.<\/p>\n
