    Additional Information

    • If you like, add cauliflower in the veggies to boil.
    • I have made Mumbai street style Pav Bhaji, so I have used Masala pav with the Bhaji. You can use simple ladi pav as well.
    • Adding red chili powder is quite tricky. Do not forget the quantity.
    • If you want a spicy version of Pav Bhaji, then add more red chili as per the taste buds.
    • Instead of butter one can use oil but butter enhances the taste of pav bhaji.
    • I have made Pav bhaji with the thickness, which we normally eat outside. You can decrease or increase the thickness.
    • Adding red food color is totally optional.
    • Adding mint leaves is totally optional.
    • Many people are there who love to eat little spicy plus sweet Pav bhaji, for that and add a little amount of sugar. As I like a simple less spicy one, so I have prepared a simple Butter pav Bhaji, which is not too spicy.
