Healthy, Delicious and Easy Pav Bhaji Recipe - For breakfast or as a snack for kids and adults too. The most popular Mumbai Street Food. Mixed vegetables are cooked, mashed and spiced with a special blend of spices and served with toasted pavs. Adding a variety of vegetables makes it healthy. The taste and flavor in the pav bhaji depends on the pav bhaji masala. Use of Homemade Pav Bhaji Masala is suggested. Potato is the base of the gravy, so use enough potatoes as compared to the other vegetables. Butter plays an important role in making the bhaji flavorful. Adding a lot of butter gives the bhaji a good texture and taste. The pav bhaji becomes super tasty when you use Amul Butter. But you can opt for good quality white butter. In order to make it healthy, you can used less butter and can toast the pavs/bread slices with oil instead of butter. To get the dish perfect, use fresh pavs and it should be lightly toasted with butter on tawa. I prefer brown bread slices instead of pavs.
