Well there is so much to start with.... about Mumbai.... its history....and blah blah blah blah....but when you are on job and have no time to for anyone and also short on cash.... you really have to eat something becoz you are HUNGRY and have no time to wait. What are you gonna do then.... the best ever thing you must never forget to eat in Mumbai is the Wada Pav!
Almost the staple food of all the Mumbaikars....
The potatoes are mashed or diced, made into patties, coated and mixed with green chilies, ginger and a phodani (tempering) of mustard seeds and turmeric. These balls are then dipped in an herb-seasoned batter made with gram flour, then it is deep-fried. The finished vada is then placed between the halves of a small bun called a pav, a word borrowed for a bun borrowed by Marathi from the Portuguese pão (lit., "bread") served with condiments such as various chutneys, red chili powder or green chilis (sometimes fried and salted). The chutneys are often made of coconut, tamarind pulp or garlic.
The Vada Pav is considered staple teatime snack in Maharashtra, particularly in Mumbai, where it has been popularized as street food. Vada Pav is available on hand carts, popularly known as Vada Pav chi gadi. They are seen everywhere in Maharashtra and also served at tea time in many of the state's small eateries and on long distance trains.
