Pav bhaji is a popular mumbai street food. Usually we make pav bhaji masala with potatoes and vegetables. The unique aroma of the pav bhaji masala elevate the taste of this to a different level. Though originally it is made with vegetables, there are more fusion varieties also available in the market, paneer pav bhaji, cheese pav bhaji, jain pav bhaji . Kheema pav is usually made with meat. Soya chunks is loaded with protein and it is the perfect alternate for vegetarians. I have posted Soya chunks biryani, Chili soya recipe in Jeyashris kitchen.
