Easy, quick and very tasty!

Paav BhaajiWant tasty, wholesome food you don't have to slave over? You're in great company! Most of us would love a meal we can put together quickly and easily.

Try Paav Bhaaji (pictured left).

This quick and easy-to-cook dish is western Indian in origin, but its popularity India-wide just seems to get greater everyday! Paav means "small buns" and Bhaaji means "vegetables" so this is a healthy dish and a complete meal all in one.

On the streets of Bombay (Mumbai), where Paav Bhaaji was probably born, numerous vendors can be seen energetically stirring the fresh, fragrant Bhaaji on huge, wide pans while people line up eagerly to buy some. Paav Bhaaji is so tasty, make some in your kitchen and your family will probably line up for it too!

Also take a look at the easy recipe for Paav Bhaaji Masala, the most essential ingredient of Paav Bhaaji. While you can buy it readymade from most Indian groceries, it's always tastier when fresh and homemade.
