What is this Indian dish?

Vada pav is a beloved street food from Maharashtra, especially Mumbai, consisting of a spicy potato fritter (vada) sandwiched inside a soft bun (pav). The vada is made by coating mashed potatoes in a gram flour batter with turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, then deep-frying until crispy. The pav is buttered, toasted, and served with the vada, often accompanied by green chutney, tamarind chutney, and fried green chilies. This dish is cherished for its savory, spicy flavors and is a popular choice for a quick and satisfying snack or meal, symbolizing Mumbai's vibrant street food scene.
