Vada Pav Making : Vada pav has derived its name from Marathi language. Sometimes it is spelled as ‘wada pav’ or ‘vada paav’ or ‘vada pao’. It is a vegetarian fast food dish native to the Indian state of Maharashtra. Apart from Maharashtra, in other regions of India, vada pav is widely known as a popular street food snack.
It is a simple creation of ‘vada’ that involves a deep fried potato and chickpeas patty with some coriander and spices, along with ubiquitous white bread rolls called ‘pav’. This food item was actually originated as a cheap street food in Mumbai, but now a days, it is offered in all street-side stalls, food chains and restaurants throughout India.
Going by literal meaning, the Marathi compound word vada means fritter, and pav is a variant of Portuguese word “pao” which means sweetened bread.
