Your children will be unable to hold back the delight that wells up in the hearts when they see Mumbai’s favourite street food, Pav Bhaji, packed with mom’s love in their tiffin box! In fact, this element of surprise adds to the taste of this all-time favourite snack.

With loads of veggies, sprouts and tongue-tickling pav bhaji masala, the bhaji is a perfect match for butter-roasted ladi pav. Cool the bhaji and the pav completely and pack them as suggested in the recipe, to ensure that they remain fresh and tasty at lunch time.

Pack some Mint Chaas in a thermos flask, to cool off after the chatpata Pav Bhaji treat.

Pav Bhaji..a yummy and everyone''s favourite. This recipe is best for a kids tiffin, as so many veggies are mashed together. The garlic chilli paste can be prepared a day before and refrigerate it. A must try recipe.
