Vada Pav with Kiwi Chutney

VADA PAV WITH KIWI CHUTNEY

Vada Pav is one of the most popular street food of Maharashtra,relished and loved by one and all. I still remember the aroma and taste of the vada pav we used to enjoy in Pune.

So thought of recreating the magic at home :) and I can say it made me remember the vada pav I used to eat in Pune.

Traditionally vada pav is eaten with dry garlic chutney but I thought throwing in some kiwi chutney and guess what the combination just tastes awesome.
