Vada Pav Chutney – the star accompaniment with Vada Pav.
Vada pav is one of the most popular street food of Mumbai. The accompaniments served with vada pav plays a huge role in uplifting the taste of this snack. Vada pav is generally served with green chutney and a dry chutney powder which is made of garlic. This fiery garlic chutney is the star accompaniment when it comes to street side Vada pav.
The main ingredients of this chutney are garlic and dry red chillies. However, there is a secret ingredient which the road side vada pav stalls use while making this chutney. Alongwith garlic and red chillies, they blend the fried besan crumbs that are left behind after frying the vadas. So, to recreate the same chutney powder like the street side vada pav stalls, I have used few tablespoons of mixed farsan to make this spicy, vada pav chutney. This chutney can be used as an accompaniment with other fried snacks like onion pakodas, moong dal pakodas etc. Here goes the recipe.

Deskin the peanuts.
