Notes
- Leftover Pav Bhaji Gravy - if you don't have this then simply make an onion tomato gravy and add any veggies of your choice like green peppers, cabbage, and spices to your preference that you would like to be coated in the pav.
- Aromatics: We used red garlic chutney which really gives it that street food style kick but feel free to use plain minced garlic if you prefer - sauté with onions so it's not raw.
