My Love has cheated me for this Pav Bhaji ----- Cheen2 @ Lucky
Anyways i dont have the chance of having this, atleast you people take a chance.
Pav bhaji is another such concoction. It acquired the status of
restaurant food but had humble beginnings as street food. It
has retained its original roadside availability despite this.

butter to shallow fry.
For Bhaji
1 capsicum chopped fine
2 onions chopped fine
2 tomatoes chopped fine
