Pav Bhaji – पाव भाजी; is an Indian street food and mostly famous in Mumbai Chopati. This is a dish which contains thick vegetable curry and pav (a one kind of Indian bread). I always prefer to make it at breakfast time, as it is easy to make and gave your day a boom start with lots of veggies.

Have you tried out this recipe??? Say something here, I love to hear words from my readers.
