Pav Bhaji

Pav Bhaji is a beloved Indian street food that originated in Mumbai and has become popular across the country. It features a hearty, spicy vegetable mash, known as bhaji, made by cooking and mashing together potatoes, tomatoes, green peas, bell peppers, and onions with a blend of aromatic spices including Pav Bhaji masala, turmeric, and red chili powder. The bhaji is simmered to perfection, creating a rich and flavorful dish that is both satisfying and comforting.

This vegetable mash is traditionally served with pav, which are soft, buttery bread rolls toasted to a golden brown. The dish is typically garnished with a dollop of butter, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro. Pav Bhaji is often enjoyed with a side of chopped onions and a wedge of lemon, adding a fresh crunch and a zesty kick to every bite. It’s a versatile meal, loved by people of all ages for its rich flavors and comforting textures.
