Pav bhaji Masala

Pav bhaji is my all time favourite. I first ate this wonderful dish years ago in lonavala hill station in a road side shop. He made this dish in front of us in a hot tava. Got fasinated with that and i can still remember the way it tasted.... Cold climate....hot hot butter toasted pav and spicy tangy bhaji with butter that melts in you mouth. what else u want in life ha ha.... Then checked with him and noted the recipe...then started regularly making at home.
