Vashi Street Stall Serves 28-Year-Old Palak Bhajiyas
In a small stall in Vashi, a town in Navi Mumbai, a man named Pandurang has been making a tasty spinach fritter called Palak Bhajiyas for almost 30 years.
He starts his day by picking fresh spinach from a local market.
He mixes it with a special batter and deep‑fry it until it’s golden and crispy.
People come from all over the area to taste these snacks, especially after work or school.
The stall is open in the evenings, and the food is very affordable, so it’s a popular spot for locals.
Pandurang Shyamrao Patil has run a Vashi street stall for 28 years, serving Palak Bhajiyas.
The stall operates from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm and sells bhajiyas for ₹40 and Vada Pav for ₹15.
Fresh spinach is sourced daily from the APMC Market and used in a thick besan batter.
The stall’s popularity grew through word‑of‑mouth, with no advertising or social media.
Patil’s son, Sachin Patil, helps run the stall each evening.
