Hepi New year everyone..have great year ahead. Personally, i'm looking forward for having wonderful year as my both girls are in secondary school and my eldest sitting for her goverment exam. It's gonna be year full of excitement.
Phav bhaji is one of the famous Indian street food which can be found in every hook and nook of Indian streets. One of the popular Bombay street food love by all. I had phav bhaji on my visit to India and i simply love the bursting flavor of the mashed vegetables and the masala.
One couldn't miss the steaming mashed vegetables evaporating along the street with beautiful vibrant red colur. Lightly toasted buns or phav dipped in a buttery rich gravy. Yes, the amount of butter in the making of phav bhaji is totally tremendous definitely, not for a weight watcher but no harm to satisfy for that once in a while tastebud.
