It has the same texture and taste like popular Mumbai style pavbhaji with any adding any artificial color. it is spicy, flavorful and tastes great when topped with butter and ladi pav. Do try this!

The key to making street style instant pavbhaji at home are
  • Firstly, I made pavbhaji without any vegetables, only with potatoes. Potatoes give creaminess and vegetable gives crunchiness to pavbhaji. you can also extend the recipe by adding other veggies like green peas, gobi, carrots and beans to make it more nutritious.
  • To brighten the red color of pavbhaji, I soaked kashmiri red chili and grind it with garlic and water to make a smooth paste. You can adjust the amount of chili according to your taste of spiciness.
  • add slightly hot water to adjust the thickness of pavbhaji gravy. also do not add extra water while seasoning the bhaji on tawa as the initial water should be sufficient. if you feel the bhaji is thick, you may add water in batches till it gets the right consistency.
  • Lastly, pavbhaji taste great when prepared with a generous amount of butter and served hot.
