Had no idea trying at home, but this week when I got pav buns, thought should give this easy masala pav a shot, since it is very simple to prepare and worth giving a try.
Was really blown away how tasty it turned out to be. Am so glad that I have a recipe now to quickly enjoy something very similar to pav bhaji.
Love all street foods like these and always wish to visit places like Mumbai, Bangalore or even in Chennai where such street foods are available in plenty.
Have no idea why my India trips are so hectic and complicated, that I feel like I don't have time for anything.
I even visit my parents for a day or two🤨. I think I should plan my trip better and give priorities in everything.
Not sure if my wish would come true, let me keep dreaming so that one day my dream comes true😄

Notes
- I added ½ chopped green chilli along onion for extra spice.
- Finely chop everything for a hom*ogenous texture.
- Use kashmiri red chilli powder so that the spiciness level is less but gives bright red colour, you can add upto 1 tsp.
- If you do not have pav bhaji masala, use kitchen king masala.
- I love to serve with raw onions and lemon juice just like we have it for pav bhaji.
- More butter = more delicious, you can reduce as per your preference.

Masala Pav is one of my favourite dish, but rather adding half masala in Pav you can also cut the Pav in small piece and mix it with masala.
