Pav Bhaji Recipe in Morgan Hill CA
Pav Bhaji Recipe in Morgan Hill CA

Shreya made this recipe in Morgan Hill CA for the family over the weekend and added about 2 cups of cauliflower (about 1/4 of a large head) and a red beet for color. It was DELICIOUS! I used it on my breakfast of eggs, and we added it to our salmon dinner. Super versatile and savory. It’s a great dish to make on a weekend so you can enjoy it for the week.
Hope you enjoy,
