Pav Bhaji — पाव भाजी
Cuisine: Indian · Origin: Mumbai India
Pav bhaji is a beloved Indian street food originating from Mumbai, consisting of soft, buttered bread rolls (pav) served alongside a spiced vegetable curry (bhaji). The bhaji is a thick, mashed mixture of potatoes, peas, carrots, and cauliflower cooked with tomatoes and aromatic spices including turmeric, cumin, and the signature pav bhaji masala. The dish is traditionally cooked on a flat griddle, where the vegetables are mashed and fried in generous amounts of butter and oil until they achieve a caramelized texture. The pav—small, pillowy bread buns—are toasted on the same griddle with butter until golden. Served hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, chopped onions, and cilantro, pav bhaji represents the essence of Mumbai's fast-paced street food culture. It's affordable, satisfying, and beloved by people across all social classes, making it a quintessential example of Indian street cuisine.
