Maggi Saag Vada Pav

Saag Vada Pav is a vibrant, flavour‑packed take on the iconic Indian street‑food favourite. A spiced potato vada, enriched with spinach and fragrant herbs, is coated in a light gram‑flour batter and fried until crisp and golden. Served inside a soft bread roll, it’s finished with punchy green chutney, warming garlic chutney, sweet‑and‑spicy sauce, and fresh green chillies for extra heat. Comforting, satisfying, and full of bold flavours, this vegetarian dish works perfectly as a hearty snack or casual meal.
