I have been preparing this Mumbai pav bhaji recipe since several years and suddenly thought of posting it on my blog. This special Bombay pav bhaji has been a favourite at home just like street food vada pav.

My hubby was startled when I prepared this first time for him. He just loves this dish prepared by me. Even if we go to some hotels, he never orders pav bhaji. He says that the best pav bhaji in Bangalore is made by his wife. Here I present to you all this popular street food from Mumbai that is Pav Bhaji.

There are beautiful memories associated with Pav Bhaji. During my 2nd job at Infosys, I was sent to Mysore campus for training. My hubby missed me a lot that time. Once he told his friends, “My wife prepares the best Pav Bhaji.” His friend said “Pav Bhaji? That ready mix?” Hubby said “No, she prepares pav bhaji from scratch. But she is in Mysore and I can get it after 2 and 1/2 months when she is back.”
