tawa pulao recipe

Tawa pulao recipe a famous street food which is cooked on the same tawa, pav bhaji masala is made.

This tawa pulao recipe was totally new to me when many bloggers posted it but found it quite interesting when I read it as the mumbai special street food. So I made the homemade pav bhaji masala powder first which is the star ingredient for this pulao then went ahead making this tawa pulav. Tawa pulao is a famous street food which is cooked on the same tawa, pav bhaji masala is made.

Often when I plan to try new dishes there always runs so many behind thoughts as and how it will taste as I am a person who stick to the comfort zone yes always when it comes to food. This tawa pulao is a total unique variation to the usual pulao and we totally loved the combo with onion raita.

    The use of pav bhaji masala was what made me try Tawa pulav. Its something I make quite often now with paneer and some tomato sauce added. One of my easy, fav dishes to make for unexpected guests.
