Another day, another bizarre food trend and food fusion! A new snack named Vada Pav Sushi is going viral online and many home chefs are hopping on the trend by making it and giving it their own twist. And surprisingly, the method is simple. In the video posted by @unplugged_neelam, Neelam made the snack and wrote, “Mumbai’s favourite street food got a fun little makeover!”
To make Vada Pav Sushi, Neelam took out a soft pav, flattened it using a rolling pin and spread green chutney on it. She then placed the potato vada and rolled the pav lightly. (You can also mash the potatoes and spread them evenly on the pav.) After that, dip the prepared bread roll in besan batter, deep-fry it and cut it into small, bite-sized sushi rounds. And done! Serve immediately with dry garlic chutney and green chillies.
