Vada pav is the most easy & tasty Indian street food to make at home.  The vada is made up of potato sabzi coated with besan batter and served with soft and fluffy pav. The pav is a salty bread which is different from other bread as it is very light and small in size compared to other bread or pav. It is again easily available in the market. The only thing one has to prepare is the potato/aloo sabzi and the batter for the outer covering.
