PavBhaji is a very popular fast food in several parts of India specially in Mumbai. One can find PavBhaji served near all the street side stalls and restaurants. The thick glossy vegetable gravy served with buttered paavs are not only treat to our eyes but delicious too. 

I often make it for breakfast or snacks. Cheese lovers can add grated cheese on top to enhance the flavour. The leftover bhaji can be used as side dish or as filling too. Lets checkout the recepie below.
