#pav
My recipe is inspired by Mumbai's popular 'Keema aloo pav' and 'Bunny chow', ...Famous street food of Durban, South Africa, where a flavourful lamb is served inside the bun/loaf halves.
Boneless lamb meat is marinated overnight and then cooked on slow flame,using its own stock.
I have added some fried potato cubes too as Mumbai's famous Keema aloo pav from an Irani restaurant was something I have been craving for! They too serve it inside the bread/bun.
