Glad to see that Vada Pav is loved in Pakistan and great city like Peshawar. The preparation is quite different and sure the outcome is very tasty. This vada pav is size very nice.
The prices looks very high, is it only because its famous street for food or its basic normal price in all side in Peshawar?
Chicken Vada is new I heard, we wont get it here, according to price 5 Steem means as per the current steem price in INR its 70, I am sure it must be very very tasty.
Its normal in Pakistan the price is ok for us
Indian vada pav is a dish I have not tried ever but it seems that it is very similar to zinger burger preparation.Your review of this recipe is really looking appeciatable which is making me crave to must taste this recipe.
Roti itu nampak sangat lezat. Ini seperti burger ditempat saya namun bukan diisi dengan selai kacang arab...
Anak-anak pasti suka karena juga teksturnya yang lembut...
Semoga sukses dalam kontes ini teman... 👍
