Arrange the hot, golden Mirchi Vada on a plate or platter lined with a colourful napkin or banana leaf. Place small bowls of green chutney and tamarind chutney alongside. For a more authentic street-style presentation, serve them on a small paper plate or brown parchment paper, often used at food stalls, with a side of onion rings and lemon wedges for extra zest. Alternatively, you can serve the Mirchi Vada inside a pav (bun) for a quick, delicious snack, creating a street-style sandwich with the chutneys smeared inside.

Serve Mirchi Vada as a teatime snack with masala chai or thandai. You can also serve it alongside a simple kachumber salad—a refreshing mix of cucumber, tomato, onion, and coriander—for a light, crunchy side. For an extra crunch, pair it with masala papad, which adds a spiced contrast to the soft, spicy filling of the Mirchi Vada. Alternatively, arrange Mirchi Vada on a snack platter with other popular street snacks like samosas and pyaaz pakoda for a diverse and satisfying spread that’s perfect for sharing.

Sprinkle Mirchi Vada with chaat masala and garnish with fresh coriander leaves just before serving to bring out its aroma and add a pop of colour. For an extra fragrant touch, top with crispy fried curry leaves that infuse a savoury depth. Add a handful of sev for a delightful crunch, enhancing the texture and providing crispiness. These garnishes boost the visual appeal and complement the flavours, making the Mirchi Vada even more enjoyable.
