Famous Mumbai's street food -Pav Bhaji! Soft,delicious butter covered Pav dipped in steaming hot ,delicious Bhaji takes the food to another level!


Pav Bhaji is a famous street food in Mumbai and so the famous name it has "Bombay Pav Bhaji" !!

I had tried this pav bhaji at various places including Goa,Bangalore and Belgaum, but the one I loved most was in Mumbai....where I had been on a short visit.
Mostly the tastiest ones are those, you get on the  roadside chaat or food stalls near beaches,although we worry about health but everyone loves to try it and enjoy!!

I had tried this Pav Bhaji and fell in love with it the moment I had tasted it.well, I tried to imitate the Food Stall cook from one of the beaches and replicate the same taste at home.
This recipe I am sharing is not not my own.I have tried to do the same steps that Pav Bhaji Stall guy does(hope you all love this).

Do try and enjoy!!
