bhajiya pav | mumbai roadside bhajiya pav | maharastrian bhajiya pav | with 26 amazing images.

The all-time favourite combination of soft, succulent ladi pav and yummy potatoes, which features in many Mumbai roadside snacks like Pav Bhaji and Vada Pav comes together in an easier and more handy form in this bhajiya pav.

mumbai roadside bhajiya pav is made from potato slices which are dipped in a besan batter and deep-fried into bhaiyas, which are then sandwiched between ladi pav along with a drizzling of tongue-tickling chutneys.

You can keep the sauces ready, but deep-fry the potatoes just before preparing the bhajiya pav because the crispness of the bhajiyas and the tang of the chutneys are the secrets behind the success of this mumbai roadside bhajiya pav.

I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect bhajiya pav. For frying the aloo bajji for maharastrian bhajiya pav, heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan. To check if the oil is hot or not, drop a tiny amount of batter into oil and if it comes on the top immediately after 1-2 seconds then oil is ready to deep fry. If it submerges then oil is not ready, if it comes on top immediately then the oil is very hot.

These roadside stalls selling these are soo much in demand, they are made and served in front of you and these stalls are always crowded asking mostly for bhajji pav, I tried this at home and it was really really very good in taste. Waiting for big monsoon to hit Mumbai again and will try it again...
