Description
If Delhi has Chhole Bhature, Mumbai has Pav Bhaji — a dish that defines comfort food in India’s busiest city. Bursting with flavor, color, and aroma, Mumbai Ki Pav Bhaji is the perfect mix of spiced vegetables mashed together and served with soft, buttery pav.
The bhaji is prepared by slow-cooking potatoes, peas, tomatoes, cauliflower, capsicum, and onions in butter and a special Mumbai-style pav bhaji masala — a rich blend of spices that gives the dish its signature smoky flavor and deep red color. The vegetables are mashed until creamy and simmered to perfection, creating a thick, buttery gravy that’s both tangy and mildly spicy.
The pav — soft bread rolls toasted with butter — complete the dish. Their crispy edges and soft center make them the perfect partner to the rich bhaji. Each bite is a medley of spice, butter, and warmth — a true taste of Mumbai’s street food culture.
Garnished with a dollop of butter, freshly chopped onions, lemon wedges, and coriander, Mumbai Ki Pav Bhaji is a celebration of flavor and comfort. Whether enjoyed as an evening snack or a full meal, it never fails to satisfy.
