Pav Bhaji

This is street food dinner at it’s best. A mixture of different vegetables all dressed up in spices to boost up their personalities. It. Is. Amazing!!⁣

Not to mention, making the Pav Bhaji Masala (spice mix) fresh adds a whole other level of flavour.

Traditionally the bhaji is cooked in heaps of butter but I’ve toned it down, feel free to add more if you want. ⁣

Additionally it’s all vegan of course so my choice of butter is @bakewithstork
Scoop this up with the soft bread rolls. ⁣


For babies: Reduce or omit the salt and chillies. The masala can be reduce too alternatively you can make the masala without the chillies and add on top.
