Mumbai’s very own burger, now made in Jain style! Vada Pav is part and parcel of Mumbai’s culture, a signature dish on its street food scene.

While it usually uses potatoes, onions, ginger and other ingredients not used by Jains, this version substitutes potatoes with raw bananas.

With flavour enhancers like green chillies and lemon juice, this Jain Vada Pav tastes just as awesome as the original, and you will not find anything amiss! Relish it in the typical Mumbai way, with deep-fried green chillies.

Tarla Dalal    Hi Hetal, Ensure that the bananas are cooked completely, also instead of mashing you can try grating them to get soft batata vadas.
