Pav Bhaji

We are blessed to have some lovely Indian friends here they really enjoy introducing us to North Indian street food. One of these dishes was Pav Bhaji its a simple Vegetable curry that is eaten with a warm buttered bread roll. Its great to make a big pot of this and have as a fun alternative to sandwiches for lunch.

This dish also reminds me of my sweet sister in law as its a favorite of hers love the power food has to connect us all.
