Pav Bhaji, The Indian Street Food You Need To Try
Indian food reflects the diversity of its 1.3 billion people, and wrapped up in its regional specialities are centuries of history. Street food is no exception. Pav Bhaji, a spicy dish of mashed vegetables and toasted buns, is often connected to Mumbai as its birthplace. In fact, the history of pav bhaji stretches much further into India’s colonial past. Pav bhaji has spread throughout India as popular and affordable street food - and beyond into the global Indian diaspora. Authenticity is intensely debated, but street food remains open to the interpretation of its creator. We’ll show you how to cook pav bhaji at home, following our Gujarati family recipe, and share the surprising history of this humble dish. Pav dinner rolls are easily adaptable to the vegan diet, simply swap almond milk for cow’s milk and canola oil for butter.
