Recipe By Prayag Das

#Mumbai Our Yam Vada Pav swaps the traditional potato for creamy, golden boiled yam, spiced to perfection with ginger, green chilies, curry leaves, and a zesty hint of chaat masala. Each tikki is lightly shallow-fried, then hugged in a crisp besan batter coat, deep-fried till crunchy and irresistible. Nestled inside a soft, toasted pav bun smeared with tangy green chutney or fiery dry garlic masala, this vada pav is earthy, spicy, and soul-satisfying—with just the right kick from a blistered fried chili on the side (for the brave-hearted only!). It’s comfort food with character—traditional, yet refreshingly new. One bite, and you’re hooked!
