Pav Bhaji Recipe | Yummy Indian Street Food

Pav Bhaji is a favorite Indian street food where hot, spicy, flavourful bhaji is served with crunchy onions lemon wedges and butter. Maharashtra claims to be the birthplace of this lovely dish.

Pav Bhaji is known as a snack recipe. But it is rich and heavy with all the butter and mixed vegetables. We usually have it for dinner. It is very filling. As this bhaji is made of mashed vegetables, even kids would love to have this. Butter also plays an important role for added flavor in the bhaji. So use either homemade butter or branded store bought one.

I did not use any artificial color, instead added a piece of beetroot while cooking to get the natural color. Pav makes this bhaji combo perfect. Always use the fresh pav.
