PAV BHAJI RECIPE
This was a collaboration with @foodylens and the recipe credit goes to him and his grandma.
RECIPE: NO-FUSS PAV BHAJI 🇮🇳
In episode three of my “recreating restaurant dishes” series, Prav from @foodylens popped over to my place to recreate one of his fave restaurant meals.
Inspired by @dishoom, this is a simplified way to make the much loved Indian street food, pav bhaji. Or, in this case, the PRAV bhaji. Don’t come for us in the comments if it’s not traditional or the way you like to make it – we know 😅 …but this is how Prav whips it together at home. We used his grandma’s spice mixes which she blends herself but don’t worry, you can pick up these ingredients in the supermarket.
We had SO much fun making this and I hope that comes through in the video. Let us know if you give this method a whirl.
