If you are a native of Bombay or have spent even a brief amount of time there, you are probably already familiar with the renowned "vada pav" that the city is known for. Buttery soft pav buns sandwiching a crispy Aloo Bonda with spicy and savoury chutneys make for a delicious street-style snack. You can enjoy this speciality during breakfast, lunch, high tea or at any time of the day. Recently, a Mumbai-based influencer called the snack "trash" and this has disappointed many users on the internet.
Sakshi Shivdasani, an Instagram content creator with over four lakh followers, was speaking on a show 'Having Said That'. "Vada Pav is trash. I hate Vada Pav from the bottom of my heart," she said. Explaining the reason, she added, "There's no way you think boiled potato and bread makes sense." The host of the show mentioned that potatoes are first boiled and then fried and served on a pav. Eventually, a chutney is added. The influencer then declared that adding chutney is not "unique" to the snack.
