Masala pav recipe is a popular mumbai style street food. When i posted tawa idli recipe, many of my friends here told me about the masala pav. the way they narrated about that, made me to try it out soon. Last week when i made the dabeli, i was left with one pav bun and tried masala pav with that. The recipe i adapted from Tarla dalal's website. It tasted awesome.
