🇮🇳 India recipe

Pav Bhaji

Pav bhaji is Mumbai's most iconic street food, born on the textile mill lanes of the city in the 1850s as a quick, filling meal for workers. A thick, buttery mash of mixed vegetables is cooked with a signature spice blend and served with soft white bread rolls toasted in generous amounts of butter. It is messy, indulgent, and utterly irresistible.
