This is a fast food dish from Amchi Mumbai (Mumbai), India, consisting of vegetables curry its call Bhaji, bhaji is cooked in tomato gravy and served with a soft bread roll called pav), so the combination of pav and bhaji is called Pav Bhaji.
Pav in Marathi means one-fourth, so a quarter of a loaf was equal to a pav. One of the most popular fast foods, often eaten as breakfast, is pav bhaji. It won’t be an understatement to say that it is one of the most flavorsome and hearty meals. It is a delicious blend of vegetables cooked in butter and an aromatic spice mixture.
One of the main reasons people really loved this dish was because it really fills you up. This is made with ingredients of potatoes, cauliflower, and carrots, and also has butter that fills you up and gives you a fulfilling meal. That’s why it was considered a quick lunch fix during the 18es. often in need of a quick, inexpensive snack.
Best PAV BHAJI MASALA is very important to enhance taste and fragrance to easy and save time please use EVEREST, MDH, or BADSHA masala.
PAV In the US, some cities have Indian Bakeries such as “Hot Breads” that make the traditional Indian Pav. If you have one near you, do grab their fresh soft buns, For the rest of us who may not have easy access to the traditional Pav, buy buns or soft rolls from grocery stores that have 2 grams of sugar or less. I prefer buying soft potato buns, or burgers buns. There are many more PAV dishes are available like vada pav, pakoda pav, samosa pav etc
