Pav Bhaji is a popular street food or fast food of Mumbai. Pav means bread and bhaji means a vegetable dish. In this dish, a mixture of various vegetables are boiled, mashed
and cooked in a tomato-based gravy served with Pav or bread that is pan-fried
with butter. This is truly an easy-to-prepare meal and also very filling, when you have to provide a nice hot meal in a hurry and one that tickles your taste bud. When I am lazy to cook an entire meal for my family,
pav bhaji in one of the first few dishes which comes to my mind.
