AAM PAV BHAJI- “Knorr Master Class Contest"

Pav-Bhaji is a Maharashtrian dish. It is incredibly tasty, nutritious, and also easy to make. Everybody in my family likes Pav Bhaji very much.


Pav Bhaji Recipe: Pav Bhaji is a popular street food in India. Pav refers to the super soft equivalent of Indian dinner rolls and bhaji is the mashed and spiced vegetable side that goes with Pav.


One of the first few recipes that I perfected immediately after marriage is this amazing Pav Bhaji recipe. I have made it countless times since then, always volunteering to bring Pav Bhaji to potlucks and often making it for guests. The reason is simple – everyone loves a good Pav Bhaji and it’s incredibly easy to make in larger quantities. A little vegetables go a long way and if you have a good Pav Bhaji Masala in hand, like knorr chefs pav bhaji masala ....you are good to go.......

Although I have tasted Pav Bhaji many times during our annual visits to KERELA  during Onam Holidays, I first noticed it during a trip to Eat Street in Hyderabad. The PAV  was buttery and hot and the Bhaji was piping hot. I loved the minced raw onions they garnished the Bhaji with and with a squeeze of fresh lemon on top before eating, it was truly blissful. Since then, I refuse to eat Pav Bhaji any other way. While on the topic of street food, I promise you will find this VERY EASY TO PREPARE .....KNORR HAS INTRODUCED NEW KNORR CHEFS PAV BHAJI MASALA .

Also, for the bhaji, you can use your own proportions of heat vs masala vs vegetables. I sometimes add a carrot to the potato and cauliflower when pressure cooking it. It lends some sweetness and anyway cooks up really mushy so you can’t even make it out. I also add some green chillies if I have fresh ones in hand and reduce the amount of chilli powder. If you want a deep red Pav Bhaji, add Kashmiri Chilli Powder or Resham Patti Chillies, which I recently discovered in a store in Bombay. They are fiery red and quite strong, so use sparingly.

  • 1 small capsicum / bell pepper
