  1. Hi..
    I've tried some recipes from ur blog, and they've come out nicely.
    This time, i tried pavbhaji.. i am not sure if it's because of the masala, but something seems to be missing. What do we do to make it taste like the ones made we get from our road side chat fellow ? could you tell what are the ingredients that we need for the masala ?

  2. Thanks Swapna.
    You are correct. If Paav Bhaji Masala is not correct, it may not come as expected. I normally preferred EVEREST Paav Bhaji masala.

    Thanks

  3. Hi Swapna,

    To get the perfect taste its the sourness thats missing here. I add Amchur powder and believe me its amazing...!!
    Also, outside when they make pav bhaji they add color but we dont need that right for health reasons.. so atleast we can bring the taste so we can add this amchur for that.
    I end up making at home since not available where I stay. My hubby loves it!Everest pav bhaji masala is perfect to make.
