Hello friends!!
Hope all of you are well.
So did you think our Father’s day celebration ended with the brownies. Nope after some healthy brownie thins that I had shared yesterday it’s time for some more indulgent street food buttery Mumbai PAV BHAJI with the softest and fluffiest buttered homemade ladi pav (whose recipe btw I will share pretty soon).
The Mr is not very demanding when it comes to food and enjoys what ever I make. But some times or the other he insists on some Indian street food and when it happens how can I not make it for him.
Recently he was craving for some JUHU beach style Pav Bhaji and here it goes. This was our SUNDAY LUNCH which we enjoyed thoroughly. Seriously tastes just like the one we get at juhu beach. So yum! .
The best part about making this is it comes together in less than 30 minutes. Isn’t that just amazing. All thanks to instantpot or pressure cooker, it just cuts your time to half which means more time with your family ♥
Here are few street food recipes of India that you can try.
