In the meantime, the Taste Atlas described the well-known Vada Pav as follows on their website: "It is believed that Ashok Vaidya, a street vendor who operated close to the Dadar train station in the 1960s and 1970s, originated this well-known street snack. He thought about how to feed the hungry crew and decided that the ideal cuisine should be portable, inexpensive, and simple to prepare. Ashok created the vada pav, and it quickly gained popularity."
