What is Vada Pav :

Vada pav is a famous street food of Maharashtra, which is favourite of every Mumbai wala.

It is made by first making aloo vada, a deep fried patty/tikki. Aloo vada is a masala made using boiled potatoes, tempered with indian spices and coated with gram flour/besan batter and is deep fried.

It is then stuffed in between the pav/burger bun along with chutneys like green chutney, imli ki khatti meethi chutney & most important Lasun chutney and deep fried green chillies on the side.

According to the Wikipedia, Fondue means any meal which is served in pot filled with some hot liquid,  into which you dip food, fruits or breads with a long fork.

What is Vada pav fondue recipe :

My first reaction on hearing about Vada pav fondue was, this can’t be possible.

The idea of making Vada pav fondue first came to my mind as my dear friend Asha once mentioned that she happened to savour this awesome dish in one of the restaurants here in Mumbai. And this was playing on my mind since long.

So I decided to try my hands on Vada pav fondue this time as my children love to eat  something different all the time.

So let’s get started.

Step by step instructions and pictorial presentation to make Vada pav fondue

First of all we will make Vada masala :

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a wide pan over medium flame.
Once hot add in mustard seeds and let them splutter for few seconds. Add whole coriander seeds. Add in the curry leaves and sauté for 30 seconds.

Then add Ginger garlic & green chili paste and sauté for 2 minutes on medium heat.
Add turmeric powder and saute for another minute.

Then add in the mashed potatoes, red chilli poweder & salt to taste and mix well.

Cook for 2 more minutes. Add chopped fresh coriander leaves & lemon juice in the end.
Remove from heat and let the potato mixture cool completely.

To make Fondue sauce :

In a pan put 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter.
Next add 1 tbsp Besan atta/gram flour and
Bhuno it on slow flame so there is no colour change.
Bhuno it till nice aroma comes out from besan.

Add Green chill and 1 tbsp chopped Spring onions.

Next add 1 cup milk to make fondue sauce. Use whisker so that no lumps remain and sauce should be silky smooth.
Add chopped fresh coriander leaves.

Next add 1 cup grated mix cheese (mozzrella and processed cheese)
Season it with Salt.

Cheesy Fondue sauce is ready. Garnish with garlic chutney.

To assemble Vada pav fondue :

Slice open a soft and fluffy pav. Fill in Vada masala inside it. Sprinkle some Dry Garlic chutney over it.

Make vertical and horizontal cuts and from each pav make 6 pieces.

Saute all pieces in butter (this is optional, I haven’t)

Dunk masala pav pieces into hot cheesy Fondue and enjoy.

Notes :

Cheese doesn’t need high heat to melt so keep the temperature low under a fondue sauce.

If the fondue becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk to adjust the consistency.

Happy cooking!
