Batata means potato and vada means dumpling. Bata Vada is an Indian mashed potato ball that is covered in chickpea flour coating and deep-fried until crispy. It is usually served with a tangy and spicy chutney. On my trip to Gujrat, India I had eaten Gujrati Batata Vada in Ahmedabad. And trust me those were the best Indian potato curry balls I had ever eaten. As we were on the go to the next destination and we couldn’t have it again. The flavor had a strong memory and I can’t tell you how long I craved to develop that same taste. And, this recipe has exact same taste. Ours is a Gujarati family, so Dadi would make it very often for Iftar and snacks. And this recipe has a lot of emotional attachment to Dadi Ma as Malida recipe has with Nani Ma. You’d love my Indian vegetarian food recipes like aloo tikki, aloo raita, aloo chana chaat, and pakora curry. If you try this batata vada recipe, I’d LOVE to hear your feedback in the comments.

Batata Vada is a simple snack that can be paired with almost any spicy, sweet or tangy sauce and gobbled on its own.You can also make a sandwich out of it with plain bread or add it in a pita pocket with salads. When you pair batata vada with hot chutney and bland pao ( dinner roll). It makes a yummy Indian street food called Vada pao.
