What is Batata Vada or Aloo vada?
Batata Vada is a popular snack from the streets of Maharashtra. Batata Vada is prepared using mashed potatoes coated in a thick besan (chickpea flour) batter and deep fried till golden. Served with a tangy chutney, Batata Vada is a street food delight that you can easily prepare at home during the monsoon season or usually as an evening snack. These are simple and quick so you can easily dish up this chatpata snack when unexpected guests arrive.
There are a lot of variations in the way the potato stuffing is made. Even in Maharashtra Batata vada tastes different in different regions like Pune, nashik, kolhapur etc.
In fact in Mumbai itself it tastes different amongst the different vendors. The taste is different due to the inclusion of different spices in the potato filling. This is the same batata vada that we use in the Vada pav.
