Hi, bdfseo1.  It's great to have someone knowledgeable to share Indian recipes on eG.

 

For those who cannot easily buy such a thing ready-made, can you explain a little about Pav Bhaji Masala?  What are the central ingredients, and in what proportion?  What are the optional ingredients?

 

Also, in which part or parts of India is Pav Bhaji most common?

[Hassouni]

It's a Bombay thing
