Tips & Secrets

  • Using cold pre-cooked rice is mandatory for achieving the most non-sticky and separate grains.
  • Ensuring the Pav Bhaji masala is fresh is the absolute secret to achieved a authentic aroma.
  • The addition of plenty of butter provides a more sophisticated rich flavor compared to plain oil.
  • Always cook on a flat tawa if possible; this is the key to providing the signature street-style texture.
