For the second day of Maha marathon I decided to make Batata Vada for Alphabet “B”under “Street Food” theme.It’s a very popular vegetarian street food of Maharashtra, India. The name “Batata” means potato in English.It literally means potato fritters , made of a mashed potato patty coated with gram flour, deep-fried and served hot with chutney.The most common way to eat it is in the Vada pav.Batata vada was in my to do list since long time but never got a chance to make some. Can You believe that I haven’t tried them before but the results were pretty good in first attempt.We did enjoyed them and feeling like walking on the Juhu Beach . So let’s start the recipe . Yum
