They Call it the Indian Burger!

As predicted (and planned) by me, my Sunday went from being perfect to stunning.

First the lunch line up of the Vegetable Pulav accompanied by that cooling Cucumber Raita, and then some Bombay Bhel with a hot cup of chai, while gazing at the liquid precipitation outside.

Perfect.

Now the stunning part. Remember those leftover Pavs (buns) from the other day? They had INPIRATION writ large on them. So I made the Indian Burger for dinner. We call it Vada Pav.

Golden-fried balls of besan-laced potato. Bite into a Vada and you will find it bursting with the flavors of garlic, lemon, some heat from the green chilies, the unmistakable taste of curry leaves and fresh cilantro. While I was making the Vadas, I quickly whooshed in my blender the Coriander Chutney to go with my Vada Pav.

If you are looking to get inspired too, look around in your kitchen or fridge and see what you find.
