Opening post - Bombay food spot

Seeing a number of blogs on food in Bombay (i'm not calling it Mumbai for a reason) I fail to see how one can miss the quintessential Wada pav (a combination of a potato and spices bound in maida and served in a rounded bread or pav). The trick is in the recipie which varies wildly between chefs who specilize in this street foods.

Excellent Wada pavs are found in Fort and near the old MLA hostel near HDFC house and also in Poona (but for the sake of brevity lets stick to good ole Bombay).

In the suburbs, a mean Wada pav can be found at Pali naka, with a touch more garlic in the recipie than in the downtown varieties and a red dry masala powder (also called ghati masala) being the coup de resistance. However, a number of Wada pav enthusiasts will swear by the fried green chilles (usually with salt) which I really love.

Ciao and do post....... Edenist
