I want to thank Dipa Motwani from Malaga who is always sending me her tried and tested recipes with the pics.
Pav Bhaaji is a popular street side dish in Mumbai. Its vegetarian and basically consists of veggies stir fried with a spice called “pav bhaaji masala” and serve with loads and loads of butter, onion salad and buttered buns. The whole fun of eating this is all that butter oozing from the vegetables. Dipa has made it with olive oil to be healthy but you can use butter if you want to get the real Mumbai taste !! You can make it with an array of vegetables like potatoes, peas, cauliflower, onions and capsicum…. just follow dipas recipe and blanch the peas, cauliflower and potates.
Very easy dish !!
