Vada Pav, also known as the "Indian burger," originated in Mumbai, India. This popular street food consists of a spicy potato fritter (vada) sandwiched in a bun (pav) and served with chutneys. It was created in the 1960s by Ashok Vaidya, a snack vendor in Dadar, Mumbai. The dish quickly gained popularity and became a staple in the city's culinary scene. Today, the best Vada Pav can still be found in Mumbai, particularly in the bustling street food stalls of Dadar and Juhu Beach. The key to a perfect Vada Pav lies in the flavorful potato filling and the freshness of the pav bread. Some variations include adding garlic chutney or fried green chilies for an extra kick.
