Mumbai Masala Pav recipe with step wise pictorial and video method.

MASALA here means the cooked combination of onion, tomato and Capsicum with some spices and PAV is a kind of dinner roll, a staple food from Maharashtra.

So MASALA PAV is the amalgamation of these two food items. On a bed of Pav tossed in butter, masala is laid down and topped with chopped raw onion and coriander leaves makes a mouthwatering dish.

This is one of the most common street food from Maharashtra after Pav Bhaji.

In the present recipe, there are very limited ingredients used so can’t think of replacing any except the colour of Capsicum. Meaning thereby, if you don’t get green Capsicum, then use red or yellow bell pepper.

But can’t replicate onion, tomatoes and pav bhaji masala.

Some suggests that pav bhaji masala can be replaced with garam masala but garam masala doesn’t give that authentic taste what comes from pav bhaji masala. Yes, garam masala makes the dish but not completes the dish.

Furthermore, this recipe is very intent and gets ready in 10 minutes. Many a times when the guests are about to arrive, we immediately prepare this dish and serve with pav.

In this blog, you will find the recipes of Pav bhaji and paneer Ghotala which are served with pav.

Very recently, we had prepared paneer ghotala and still left with some pav after paneer ghotala was finished.

So quickly made masala to serve with pav and it was superhit amongst all the members.

It is to be noted here that if you don’t have pav at the spur of the moment, you can serve this masala with bread or kulcha also.

So enjoy this lipsmacking recipe.
