Try adding some Urad dal along with the curry leaves. It adds to the flavour.

Hi Nupur,
Well again trying many recipes from your site, I tried your Batata Vada yesterday and your Hariyali chutney too. I made exactly, in addition I spread some hariyali chutney and tamarind chutney ( which I got from jugalbandi). WOW! I never tasted this before but boy we really liked it very much. Thanks and big hug from me.

cheers

Anu, You can find good bread (crusty on the outside, soft on the inside) in the bakery division of most grocery stores and supermarkets, or in bakeries.

Sizzlephobia and the Homer Simpson reference have me giggling helplessly over here. Nupur, I have been getting such good lessons in Indian cooking through your site. Thanks so much!

Hi Joey, yeah gulab jamun is sooo good. fried AND sugary...life gets no better than that :)

Hi Shakthi, well, here is one Indian who is not afraid of frying even in America: me!

Hi Linda, Thanks for hosting and for choosing such a wide-ranging theme :)

Hi Julia, fried potatoes are definitely a universal addication. every culture has recipes for it!

Shoots! Hop

2005-08-31T22:27:00.000-04:00

girl,
what with your sukh sagar pav bhaji and now the vada pav i wish i had never left IITB at all :( esp being here in san diego and surrounded by take-out burritos makes the whole thing worse. your blog's great for recepies (not that i try them that often) and even better for nostalgia!

Hi Nupur,Your vada pavs are making me sooo hungry!...

2005-08-31T12:12:00.000-04:00

Hi Nupur,

Your vada pavs are making me sooo hungry! I love potatoes, and fritters, ok, simply anything fried and crispy! This is something I definitely will have to try.

Hum!!! You said "we Indians have long overcome our fear of frying.." ... was there ever such a thing as Sizzleophobia in India??? I think that Indians only develop it after coming to America.

2005-08-29T13:33:00.000-04:00

Great post! The dish looks wonderful and yummy, and I really liked the nice background description! I'd love to try some of those...I also love puris and especially gulab jamun...YUM! :-)

2005-08-29T13:02:00.000-04:00

Hi Tanvi, yeah this vada pav really hot the spot :D Maybe you can find a restaurant there which sells it...I know some places in NYC have vada-pav now.

Hi Yoma, You live in vada-pav heaven (Bombay), so you don't have to fly down here to eat it! But please fly down to NYC to eat some cheesecake and pizza.

2005-08-28T21:06:00.000-04:00

Hi Boo...yes these look like vadai! But vadai are dumplings made with lentil batter so they are quite different really. Just as tasty though :)

Hi Ana, puris are indeed delicious. They are quite easy to make really...just a dough of whole wheat flour, oil, salt and water. But you are right, people are staying away from puris these days...they can get pretty oily!

2005-08-28T20:37:00.000-04:00

I love me some puris! My friend Nilima, a wonderful cook used to make them when I went over for supper. I find that restaurants do not offer them, probably because health conscious patrons object.

I wish I had asked Nilima for her recipe. Long time ago she moved to the US and we lost contact. I haven't tasted puris ever since. Sad!
