Pav Bhaji is a street food which from state of Maharashtra, India. Pav means dinner rolls and bhaji means cooked vegetables. Bhaji is a blend of vegetables and spices. The bhaji is also healthy in its own way as it has mix of boiled vegetables and you cook it by adding minimum oil. I prefer cooking the bhaji in the pressure cooker and then stirring it with masalas.
I have added fresh peas but you can also frozen peas. So, enjoy Pav bhaji today for snacking or lunch and wish you all a great week ahead..

Yum! I love anything with vegetables. I'm glad you use the pressure cooker instead of frying. It's so much healthier. Thanks, Priya. Sharing this.
UGH. Priya, all this delicious food…and no where near enough time to eat it all. I really appreciate that you use the pressure cooker instead of deep frying. I know in America, we deep dry everything. Its refreshing to have a dish that isn't deep fried in my home arsenal. I love all your foods. Your blog is one of my top 3!
