    Mumbai Style Paneer Pav Bhaji Recipe – Easy, delicious and flavorful Indian Street Food Recipe

    Pav Bhaji is a very famous Indian street food. It is a thick mashed vegetable curry cooked with spices and served with a soft buttered bread roll. There are many variations of Mumbai Pav Bhaji such as Jain Pav Bhaji, Cheese Pav Bhaji and Khada Pav Bhaji.

    Paneer Pav Bhaji is another famous variation of pav bhaji from Mumbai, India. This street food is so simple to make at home and can be served as a breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    Capsicum, potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, green peas, tomatoes and french beans are usually added to make pav bhaji. You will need to use a special spice blend called Pav Bhaji Masala to make this dish tasty and flavorful. You can use store-bought masala powder or homemade masala powder. Check my recipe of Pav Bhaji Masala Powder if you want to prepare at home.
