Pav Bhaji

Pav Bhaji has to be most interesting preparation of mix vegetables. Pav Bhaji is a typical street food from Mumbai, it is mashed vegetables cooked in special spice blend topped with loads of butter and served with buttered pav (Bread)

I love Pav bhaji, it is my absolute favorite and have done many trials at home to get that perfect taste and consistency. This is my version of the street food
