Vada Pav

When I was looking for recipes to post for Blog Hop Wednesday, I came across this recipe in Vaishali's website. Though we make potato bonda all the time, we have never tasted it as this combination of Vada Pav. I used the idea and most of the ingredients and put together this dish. We really loved it.
