#streetfoodofindia - This is an Indian style burger which is a very popular street food in the state of Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai. Found almost in every street corners and in small eateries, people literally leave on it throughout the day and it is a favourite lunch time meal for all office-goers and students. It can be served as a tea-time snack too.

This simple, humble and an equally yummy bun stuffed with a vada (dumpling) and served with green chutney, sweet chutney and spicy garlic chutney is sold like hot cakes. For some variation, try having it with a sprinkle of some grated cheese. #goldenapron
