Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a spicier bhaji, increase the amount of green chilies and red chili powder.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the bhaji filling, such as carrots, zucchini, or potatoes.
- If you don't have pav bhaji masala, you can substitute it with a blend of garam masala and turmeric.
- For a crispier base, lightly toast the bread slices before adding the bhaji filling.
