Tawa Pulao

Tawa pulao is my favourite dish to make whenever I am board with regular rice dish and  if I don't want to cook. The process looks time consuming but no other pulao is quicker than tawa pulao.  This is street side vendors make this pulao. They use huge iron tawa (griddle) to make pav bhaji, masala pav, and tawa pulao. Basically they mix pre boild vegetables in to cooked plain white rice with lots of tomato and pav bhaji masala. Hence this is also known as tomato pulao or pav bhaji pulao. Nice aromatic tummy filling dish is served with raita or even plain yoghurt, even can be enjoyed alone itself. The basic pulao is made only with vegetables but now days paneer (cottage cheese) or chopped eggs can be added as per demand.

You will see pav bhaji vendors making lots of spoon noise on their huge tawa and spreading the aroma of tawa pulao and Pav bhaji . You can guess from miles that some

Paav Bhaji

          Paav bhaji is my personal all time favorite. After a movie with my family my father always use to take to famous pav bhaji joint at my home town. As a child I was not able to handle the spice lavel but with tears in my eyes and water glass by the plate I use to enjoy this dish most. Till now Whenever I visit my hometown me and my dad go to enjoy pav bhaji.                      It is an Indian fast food dish. Pav is dinner roll served with thick gravy. Alongside raw onion and lemon wedges. Now days raita too. The dish originated in the 1850s as a fast lunchtime dish for textile mill workers in Mumbai. Pav bhaji was later served at restaurants throughout the city. Pav bhaji is now offered at outlets from simple hand carts to formal restaurants in India and abroad.            Bhaji is made with potato, cauliflower, fresh green peas, capsicum, tomato and onions.  The spice mix is prepared differently called pav bhaji masala. Stall owners boil all the veget

Pani Puri

             Pani puri is my most favorite street food and it is near to my heart. This is my golden memories with my all friends. I remember me and my best friend used to compete that how many plates can one eat and the one who wins will pay. We always used to forget about winner and become so full that we couldn't finish our meal at home. and our moms would find out easily that we ate out .. after that we were forced to listen the long lecture from our beloved mothers jokes apart, but every Indian loves Pani puri. there is no such time to enjoy this tangy, spicy beauty.             India wide this dish is known by different names like Puchka, phulki, pani patase, golgappa, but the love for this dish is the same. Pani means literally water and puri means ball. Puri is outer cover made with all purpose flour (maida) or wheat flour or suji (semolina), There are two types of water are served along with crunchy puri and different stuffing as per region
