Trivia
[Hardcore] While 'Vada Pav' sandwiches mashed potato balls, this adds 'Samosa's crispy crust texture', yielding crispier junkier bite. A demonic sandwich born from Mumbaiites' uncompromising calorie obsession: 'wrap carbs (potato) in carbs (flour crust), further sandwich in carbs (bread)'.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Firmly grip bread with both hands so hard Samosa crust doesn't pierce you, opening mouth wide taking a huge bite along with the sweet/sour/spicy chutney sea!
