Being away from our native place or from our country... the most important thing we miss is food... either home cooked mom's food.. or the speciality of the place we grown up... like bengali people miss Rashogullaa... South people miss there style curries and dosa's idli... Indori people like me miss the spicy yummy chaats.. tikkiss.... Mumbai people miss the Street side food like Pav bhaji.. Bhelpuri.. etc...
Mostly in India now a days.... in any part of it.. we will get all types of regional food... now its not a big deal.. yeah it may not be authentic taste as per your place... but we can get taste of every corner of India at every place... Problem happens when we move away from India... We miss mostly the Street food... made on big Tawa's... with lots of spices... While writing only I am imagining and all pictures are floating in my mind... and my tongue is dancing :) :)... After coming to US I realized all this things... how badly we miss real street food here... Even though Indian restaurents are there...but the authentic taste you can't get here... then the solution is the only one.. Prepare at home as per the taste... Some how atleast we can full fill our desires :) :)...
So this time I tried the famous Street Food of Mumbai chopatties :) :)... PAV BHAJI... :) :)... After reading this everyone who have been to Mumbai and tasted this.. would be drolling with lots of memories of this yummy dish or Snack ... I know... Bhaji is easy like normal curries..and can be prepared easily by anyone.. if you had a pav bhaji masala to give you the Bhaji taste... The problem is the PAV's to be eaten with bhaji... Normal bread will not give the feeling of eating pav... So here I come with the recipe of home made Pav... and easy tried and tasted recipe :) :)... Pav's can also be used for making VADA PAV... another great Snack of Mumbai... So one day we can make PAv bhaji with it and another day we can make VADA PAV with this PAV's... Let's start preparing the yummy milky PAV's :) :)
