VEG HOT DOGS | HOT DOG VADA PAV

I know that I don't have to give any introduction about Vada Pav. Vada pav is one of the most loved snack in India.

Now, here is my story!!!! I always get tempted towards hot dogs.I Personally think that it is American vada Pav :D....But I don not eat I it contains sausage.And same is the situation for many many people who are pure vegetarian.So I though I should do something that gives feeling of eating Hot Dogs...So, I am presenting Vada Pav with a twist in its appearance.Hope you all like this

INGREDIENTS:

1. Medium Sized Potatoes - 6 (Have them boiled and take out skin)
2. FOR BATTER - Besan (1 Cup),Ajwain/Ova (1 Tbsp),Salt for taste, Mohan/Moin - 2 Tbsp,Baking Soda (1/4 Tbsp)
3. FOR POTATO STUFFING - 2 Tbsp oil,Cumin Seeds (1 Tbsp), Salt to Taste, Garlig and Ginger paste 1 Tsp each(Optional), Turmeric Powder 1 Tsp,Boiled Chana Dal 1/4 Cup(Optional)
4. Hot Dog Buns as Needed
5. Vada Pav Chutney
6. Green Chutney
   

STEPS : 

• POTATO STUFFING - In a Pan, Heat 2 Tbsp of Oil.Add Cumin Seeds,Turmeric Powder,Ginger and Garlic Paste,Salt.Now add Boiled Potato(Mash it well before adding) and Chana Dal.Mix everything very well for around 10 minutes.Let the stuffing cool down
• BATTER - In a bowl, Transfer Besan.To that add Salt,Ajwain and Baking Soda.To that add water such that batter is remains thick.It should not be runny.We do not want dough at the same time.All we need is thick batter in which we should be to able to dip the stuffing well.When oil is heated for boiling, take out 2 Tbsp of oil to add to batter as Mohan.Moin. Again give it a nice mix.
  
• VADA - Make Sausage shaped Vadas out of Potato Stuffing.There is no binding agent in stuffing so the rolls may start coming apart.To avoid that, press them little bit making like a Patty.
  
• FRYING : Now that the rolls may fall apart,this is the trick to avoid that - Hold the roll at near ends with both the hands on each side.Dip in batter and leave immediately but very gently in oil.Again, do not do with single hand.
  
• SERVING - Open Hot dog Bun.On the base, spread Garlic Chutney.On that Keep a Vada and spread green chutney on it.Now close the other side and serve it.
  

TIPS : 

• This Vada pava is going to be really big.So you can Cut in half in case you are making in bulk.
