Cook till well mixed.
  • To make the batter take gram flour, salt, asafoetida, remaining chilli powder, remaining turmeric powder, 1 tsp oil and sufficient water in a bowl and whisk well to make a smooth batter.
  • Divide the wada mixture into equal portions and shape them into round balls.
  • Heat another non-stick pan. Dip the wadas in the batter and place them in the non-stick pan, brush with little oil and cook, turning them often so that they are evenly cooked all around.
  • Slit the wheat pavs into without cutting through, apply green chutney on the inner side of both parts of each pav and sprinkle some garlic chutney. Place a wada on the lower half of each pav, top with the upper half and serve immediately.
