Jain Vada Pav



This is my secret recipe for all Vada Pav lovers. Its one of my secret temptations and even on a diet, I can't stop myself to splurge on it.
Vada Pav originally a Maharashtrian Recipe, was eaten by mostly the labour class as part of their lunch. Since it is cheap and quick to make, many stalls have come up to satisfy the hunger of every munching star. Tastes best with Tea

Here goes my recipe.

Seasoning
½ tsp Asafoetida (hing)  
1 tsp Black Mustard seeds (rai)
1 tap Black Gram or (Urad dal)
1 tbsp cooking oil

Ingredient 
4 Raw Banana
½ cup chopped green coriander
6 green chilies or 1 tbsp grinned green chili
1 tsp salt (as per taste)
½ tsp black salt (sanchar)

Serving & Garnishing
sesame pickle or grounded peanut pickle
sweet date chutney
spicy coriander chutney



Preparation
1. Cut the raw banana (with the peal) in two and steam them with 3 whistle in a pressure cooker. Shut the gas and let the cooker cool down for 10 mins.
2. Take out the raw banana in a clean plate and you can easily remove the peal now. 
3. Add grinned green chilies, salt, black salt and chopped coriander. Now smash them till they mix well.
4. Take a small pan for seasoning. Put oil and Urad dal. After it turns pink add sesame seeds. After it crackles add hint to it.
5. In not less than 3 seconds, pour the seasoned oil on to the banana dough. Mix well again. Make round balls out of it when cool.

Frying
6. Prepare a semi-solid dough out of gram floor, water, salt, red chili powder, coriander powder. Dip the balls in this dough properly and fry them until it turns golden.

Serving
Cut a tile bread loaf horizontally. Apply sweet date chutney and spicy coriander chutney to the insides and place the vada right in the middle of the loaf. Sprinkle some sesame seed pickle
