Mumbai Pav Bhaji

Indian street food is beloved for its delicious flavors and easy accessibility, and nowhere is this more evident than in Mumbai, the city where I grew up. Mumbai is a treasure trove of street food stalls, each offering a unique taste of the city's vibrant and diverse culinary heritage.

One dish that holds a special place in my heart is Pav Bhaji - the word Pav means bread and Bhaji is a mix of spiced vegetables. During my younger days, when budgeting was a priority, Pav Bhaji was a comfortingly yummy and economical treat. This simple yet flavorful dish is a medley of mashed vegetables cooked with spices, making it an excellent way to use up leftover veggies from your fridge.

While the street version is unapologetically loaded with butter, making it at home allows you to adjust the butter and spice levels to suit your family's preferences. Serve it with soft, buttered rolls, and tangy lemon-soaked onions. Enjoy the magic of Mumbai street food at your table!
