Pav Bhaji
Yes I made it !!! This is my first street food recipe that am publishing today in Prema’s culinary. Pav bhaji is a fast food dish that has gone to gain fame the world over. Pav Bhaji literally means bread and vegetables. The vegetables are cooked and mashed then spiced with a special pav bhaji masala and generally topped with generous quantities of butter and served with this pav which is used to mop up the mashed vegetables.

I’ve thought of making my own paav bhaji masala many times but somehow i changed my mind and used the MDH Pav Bhaji Masala to make this quickly. I have made this Pav Buns yesterday and couldn’t wait to try it with Pav bhaji,so i made it and clicked it.It is too easy recipe and taste awesome.
I had Pav bhaji first time in chennai with my co sister who is the great lover of chat Items. Once i tasted it and started loving it. Now also if i visit kailash Prabath i will try Pav Bhaji.But having the pav bhaji  with home made pav buns is really excellent.I have tried this recipes from here with slight modification.
