Pav bhaji- Street style

on




Pav Bhaji is a famous street side dish in all over India but is originally a Maharashtrian dish. Pav are also known as dinner rolls and bhaji is a Marathi word for dishes made from vegetables. As, both the pav and bhaji served together and compliments each other , hence, the dish name is Pav bhaji. I have not added any food colour to this recipe as I feel food colours are not healthy. Try this recipe and you will find the same street style taste from Mumbai. 

Time it takes:

Prep.time: 15 minutes

Quick tips:

  1. Cooking vegetables in a pressure cooker is just a way to save time, another way to do is add finely chopped vegetables into mixture and then mash it along with cooking.
  2. Add lemon to bhaji before serving, it taste awesome, but not before that as it might spoil your bhaji.
