Happy World Vada Pav Day 2023

.

August 23rd brings us to World Vada Pav Day, a vegetarian, street side, fast food snack, from Maharashtra, India.

.

Vada pav, alternatively spelt wada pao, is a vegetarian fast food, road side snack, native to the Indian state of Maharashtra. The dish consists of a deep fried potato dumpling placed inside a bread bun (pav) sliced almost in half through the middle. It is generally accompanied with one or more chutneys and a green chili pepper. Although it originated as an affordable street food in Mumbai, it is now served in food stalls and restaurants across India. It is also called Bombay burger in keeping with its origins and its resemblance in physical form to a burger.

.

The most common theory of the vada pav's origin is that it was invented in the erstwhile mill-heartland of Central Mumbai. Ashok Vaidya of Dadar is often credited with starting the first vada pav stall outside Dadar railway station in 1966. Some sources credit Sudhakar Mhatre who started his business around the same time. One of the earliest kiosks selling vada pav is said to be Khidki Vada Pav, located in Kalyan. It was started in the late 1960s by the Vaze family, who used to hand out vada pavs from a window (Khidki) of their house facing the road.

.

The carbohydrate-rich snack catered to the cotton mill workers of what was then known as Girangaon. This potato dumpling (batata vada) placed inside a pav was quick to make, cheap (~10-15 paisa in 1971, and much convenient over the batata bhaji and chapati combination, which couldn't be eaten in overcrowded local trains.

.

The preparation process is very easy. A few boiled potatoes are mashed and mixed with chopped green chilli and garlic, mustard seeds, and spices (usually asafoetida and turmeric). The mass is then shaped into a ball, dipped into gram flour batter and deep fried. The resultant fritter is served by placing inside a bread bun, accompanied with one or more chutneys and fried green chilli.

Dosa

In this post, let's talk about the Dosa and the science behind it. Dosa is a much-loved traditional South Indian breakfast item. It is essentially a crepe or pancake made with a rice batter. Dosa is enjoyed with various side dishes such as sambar, chutneys, pickles or spice powder. Like many other Indian dishes, Dosa's origin is difficult to trace. It dates back at least a thousand years. Special thick Dosas are offered to deities in temples like Tirumala, Alagar Kovil etc.

Tirumala Dosa (It is thick compared to the usual Dosa, with a topping of butter. )

There are umpteen varieties of the Dosa. For starters, we have the Masala Dosa with fried potatoes or the Podi dosa which is Dosa with fiery spice powder sprinkled on it. Butter dosa, onion dosa (For those who eat), and cheese dosa are also popular. Then, one can change the main grain in the batter from rice to get dishes like Rava Dosa, Pesarattu, Ragi dosa, Millet dosa etc. Adventurous people may like to try dishes like Paneer dosa, Pav bhaji dosa, pizza dosa etc. The possibilities are endless!

Varieties of Dosa

This post is neither a recipe for Dosas nor is it a recommendation for the best Dosa eateries to try. Rather let's dive into the science behind this wonderful appetizing dish. Basically, rice (Oryza sativa) and urad dal (Vigna mungo) are soaked in water for 6-8 hours before grinding, and this batter is spread on the pan to make crispy dosas.

Dosa batter

To understand the science behind the scenes, we need to know some basics. Respiration is a vital process that is literally keeping us alive. In simple words, the glucose from the food that we eat gets "oxidized" to produce energy. There are 2 main steps in this breakdown: 1. Glucose gets broken down to pyruvic acid 2. Depending on the amount of oxygen, pyruvic acid is further broken down to produce energy. Generally, when there is abundant oxygen, pyruvic acid enters the "Citric acid cycle" to produce energy and release CO2. However, in the absence of oxygen, pyruvic acid gets converted to lactic acid, such as in yeast. This process has been exploited by humans for food production since time immemorial.

Rice is full of carbohydrates arranged in long chains of glucose. Allowing the batter to soak and rest for 6-8 hours gives it enough time to ferment. Bacteria naturally occurring on the grains such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Streptococcus faecalis, and Lactobacillus fermentum carry out fermentation in the batter, releasing carbon dioxide and making the batter fluffy. This fermentation is usually "kickstarted" by mixing the batter using bare hands.

(Simplifies representation of respiration)

Fermentation has quite a few benefits. Firstly, it helps to break down the anti-nutrients like phytic acid present in rice and urad dal. The lactic acid formed during the fermentation process aids the digestion of food like a probiotic. Moreover, useful substances like vitamins and folic acid are also produced during the process.

An interesting fact is that a pinch of fenugreek (Methi) seeds are added to the dosa batter before soaking to provide a slightly alkaline pH for fermentation. They also contain enzymes that break down complex carbs to simple glucose to be used by yeast. Also, optimum temperature is essential for fermentation. A temperature of 25-35 degrees Celsius works best for a good batter.

So this was a brief explanation of the science behind these crispy delights. So whether it is at MTR, Minerva, Chutneys, Rameshwaram cafe, or homemade (the best one); let's take a moment to appreciate the science that goes into our food to make it delicious. Wait ... it's not over yet!

The Secret to Delicious Pav Bhaji: Crafting the Perfect Pav Bhaji Masala

Let me take you on a little journey. Imagine this: A rainy evening, the smell of freshly toasted pav in the air, and in front of you, a steaming, flavorful plate of bhaji. That is the magic of Pav Bhaji—the ultimate comfort food that brings people together with its rich flavours and soul-soothing warmth. But have you ever wondered what makes a good Pav Bhaji truly unforgettable? It's all about the masala, well, let me spill the secret—it's all about KBM Pav Bhaji Masala!

The Making of a Perfect Pav Bhaji Masala

Now, you're wondering. "Can't I just pick any masala off a shelf and be done with it?" Of course, you can. But let me tell you, that special something in KBM Pav Bhaji Masala is what sets your bhaji in the air. It all depends on the right masala to create these layers of flavour that do this dance in your mouth—sweet and spicy, together, all at once.

The Ingredients – All About Freshness

To make the perfect Pav Bhaji, you will require potatoes, tomatoes, onions, peas, and bell peppers. Fair enough-the magic happens with the KBM Pav Bhaji Masala. Our blend has everything you need: the richness of cumin, the warmth of coriander, the punch of red chilli, and the tanginess of amchur. It's a symphony of flavours packed in one easy-to-use masala.

How to Make Delicious Pav Bhaji at Home

Let's cook! Here's how you make that perfect, street-style Pav Bhaji at home.

1. Start with a Mixture of Veggies: Boil potatoes, peas, and bell peppers together until they are tender enough to mash. And this gives the *bhaji* its thick, comforting texture.

2. Sauté onions and tomatoes: Now, heat some butter in a pan (because butter makes everything better!) and sauté the finely chopped onions till they are golden brown. Then add the tomatoes and let them cook down till they are soft.

3. The star ingredient: Now it is time to sprinkle in the magic – KBM Pav Bhaji Masala. A simple mixture of it in the dish sets off the transformation. The fragrance will start filling your kitchen.

4. Mix it all up: Now toss in your boiled vegetables into the pan and blend in with the onion-tomato mixture. Let it simmer for a few minutes so the spices soak in with every bite.

5. Garnish and serve: A little extra butter and some fresh coriander leaves pressed in and a squeeze of lime to bring it all together; serve with toasted golden browns of pav buttered. 

And voila! Your platter of Pav Bhaji is sure to conquer even the most hardened of street food critics.

Cooking Tips for the Perfect Bhaji

Here are a few secrets to take your Pav Bhaji to a whole new level:

- Don't be stingy about butter: Use lots and lots of it. It's key to that rich, indulgent taste.

- Tomatoes are your friend: The more ripe and juicy your tomatoes, the better your bhaji will taste. It gives that subtle tanginess, balancing out the spices.

- Squeeze some lemon: A dash of lemon juice right before serving gives the bhaji a fresh, zesty kick.

Flavour Enhancements with KBM Masala

You would be wondering what all the furore regarding KBM Pav Bhaji Masala is. It is because our blend is expertly prepared from highest quality spices that ensure perfect flavour in every bite of pav bhaji. Unlike masalas whose flavour might be overpowering or pale, the balance between bold and harmonious that they achieve cannot be superseded by KBM Masala. 

Plus, it's versatile! Want to add a twist to your bhaji? Throw in some grated cheese or top it with chopped onions for added crunch. The masala works wonders with any variation you want to try.

Homemade Spice Mix – The KBM Difference

You can also try making your own Pav Bhaji Masala at home, but that is by no means a cakewalk. The magic of KBM Masala lies in the fact that we have done all the hard work for you. We have mixed the spices in just the right proportions so that you need only add this to your recipe and watch it all come together. Trust us on this one; we have perfected it so you don't have to.

Wrapping It Up – Indian Comfort at Its Best
