Pav bhaji (Marathi : पाव भाजी) is a street food dish from India consisting of a thick vegetable curry (bhaji) served with a soft bread roll (pav). It originated in the city of Mumbai.[1][2]
The dish originated as a fast lunchtime dish for textile mill workers in Mumbai.[3][4] Pav bhaji was later served at restaurants throughout the city.[4][5] Pav bhaji is now offered at outlets from simple hand carts to formal restaurants in India and abroad.[6][7]
Pav bhaji is a spiced mixture of mashed vegetables in a thick gravy served with bread. Vegetables in the curry may commonly include potatoes, onions, carrots, chillies, peas, bell peppers and tomatoes. Street sellers usually cook the curry on a flat griddle (tava) and serve the dish hot. A soft white bread roll is the usual accompaniment to the curry, but this does not preclude the use of other bread varieties such as chapati, roti or brown bread.
Khada pav bhaji, in which vegetables are in chunks rather than mashed
Jain pav bhaji, without onions and garlic[8] and with plantains instead of potatoes[9]
Kolhapuri pav bhaji, using a spice mix common in Kolhapur
