Pav Bhaji/Bombay Pav Bhaji

February 10, 2017 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Pav Bhaji

Last week we posted the preparation for Pav Bhaji Masala, an important ingredient for making Pav Bhaji at home.

Pav Bhaji is the second most favorite street food item behind Vada-Pav and also a delicious item to be included in those small budgeted treats and parties.

Usually on the streets, this is prepared on large iron griddle. In pursuit of such iron griddle we went to Pune iron market where we found a collection of such pans, griddles and other such paraphernalia. However, if you find procuring one such iron griddle a difficult task to undertake, then let this not deter you from making the recipe on any other pan that you have in your kitchen.

The preparation is fairly simple and involves assortment of vegetables that are boiled and mashed. A variety of veggies like carrots, green peas, potatoes, capsicum and cauliflowers can be used in the recipe. Veggies are diced into cubes and steamed in a pressure cooker till they become soft and mushy. It can then be mashed with a masher to form a thick mixture.

Being recipe that evolved on streets, it calls for generous usage of butter-both in the Bhaji and then also while roasting the pav. Being the indulgent that I am, I too have made a generous usage of butter in this recipe. However, if you are on diet or for any other reasons you can alter the quantity of butter in the recipe. Finally the soul of the recipe is pav bhaji masala. Though the packaged masalas are readily available in market, I would strongly recommend making one at home. I feel there is significant difference in taste and aroma of pav-bhaji made from homemade masala than the one that is purchased. You can find the recipe of Pav-Bhaji Masala here.

Let’s now see how Pav Bhaji is made.
