Pav bhaji is a flavored combination of crushed vegetables in a thick sauce presented with bread. Vegetables in the curry may normally incorporate potatoes, onions, carrots, chillies, peas, chime peppers and tomatoes. Road venders as a rule cook the curry on a level iron (tava) and serve the dish hot. A delicate white bread roll is the standard backup to the curry, however this doesn't block the utilization of other bread assortments like chapati, roti or earthy colored bread.
