About Beetroot Pav
Vada Pav is a famous street food in Mumbai and Maharashtra region. It usually served with buns or pav made up with Flour or Maida. I have given a little twist in buns by using Beetroot puree. Which has given a bun a unique taste, color and its healthy. As I have used less beetroot puree, additional red food color is being added to give Pav that extra tint. It is optional.
