Pav Bhaji Recipe | How to make Pav Bhaji | (Mumbai street food)

Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is pav bhaji or pao bhaji. Pav Bhaji is a native Mumbai dish made with mashed vegetables, pan-fried and served with Pav toasted in butter. The generous amount of butter that is often used with freshly-cut onions and lemon juice tops the dish. Pav Bhaji is also a great way to feed fussy kids their share of veggies with a smile. The story behind the recipe is that, textile mill workers who needs a fast and tummy full dish for their lunch with lots of protein, vitamins and enough fiber, so the invention of pav bhaji came out. And also any lunch, after having it, should not make the workers lethargic. So the invewntors found pav bhaji is the best option. Now after taking different forms and shapes finally the pav bhaji became food in every restaurant.I use this bhaji for roti or chapati also.
