Can I use regular bread instead of pav? 🍞
Yes! While pav gives an authentic taste, you can use burger buns or regular bread as an alternative.

Why is my pav bhaji not getting the bright red colour? 🔴😕
The red colour comes from Kashmiri red chilli powder and tomatoes. You can also add a little beetroot puree for natural colour.

Reduce the amount of red chilli powder and green chillies. You can also add more butter and cream for a milder taste.
