Background Story:
Maddur Vade – is famous after the town Maddur, a town between Mysoru and Bengaluru. While traveling between the two cities, train travelers often anticipate eagerly for the train to stop for few minutes at Maddur – allowing them to buy Maddur Vade.

4/

Often trains used to stop for more time due to train crossings, this gave few more minutes for travelers to get down and have “Maddur Vade w Idli, Chatni on ‘patravali’ (dried palash leaf - ecofriendly & clean)” on the train platform.

5/

Travelers enjoying the vade often forget the train had only a brief stop and have seen people running to catch the train as it pulls away with vade in hand.

Have done many times and even now cherish the taste of Maddur Vade.
