•Dip them in the batter, one at a time and coat well.
•Deep fry the vada into hot oil on medium flame till golden and crisp.
•Remove and drain off the excess oil. Keep aside.
•To make besan chura, pour in the batter into hot oil randomly.
•Fry the chura on medium heat until golden and crisp. Remove, drain off the excess oil and keep them aside too.
•Turn off the flame and fry the slit green chillies, stirring occasionally until blisters appear on the chilli. Be careful of the oil splashing at this step.
•Remove, drain off the excess oil and keep aside.
•For the dry garlic chutney, fry the garlic cloves on a medium flame until slightly golden brown. Remove and set aside to cool on a plate.
•Once cool, grind them along with the besan chura, red chilli powder, salt and make a coarse powder.
•Transfer to a bowl and use as required.
•For the assembly, cut the ladi pav half way from the middle. DO NOT cut it completely, all the way through.
•On one side of the pav, spread green chutney. Press the sides together so that the chutney spreads on the other side too. Spread tamarind chutney on the lower half followed by dry garlic chutney and besan chura.
•Place the prepared vada, fried chillies and finally, press the vada pav.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
Vishesh Tippani-
•Fry the ingredients for the dry chutney on medium-low heat. Also, cool the roasted ingredients before grinding them.
•Keep the texture of the chutney coarse for the perfect bite.
•Make sure to boil and cool the potatoes before you mash them.
•Deep fry the vadas on a medium flame.
•Cut the pav bread only halfway through. Do not cut them completely.
•Be very careful while frying the green chillies, make sure to slit them. The oil can splutter if you don't slit them.
