Mumbai Tava Pulav/ Mumbai Rice

Street food in Mumbai is very famous. Not just vada pav and pav bhaji... there is one more dish that has gained lot of popularity in Mumbai- TAVA PULAO This is one dish that I still cherish & recreate at home. What makes this dish unique from other is the taste of Pav Bhaji. Now for all those who wants to have authentic taste of Mumbai Tava Pulav then have it on streets of Mumbai and not at any fancy retuarent. Those vendors are very good in fusion food.

Anyways! This is how I made it at home.

• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• ½ cup boiled peas
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste 
• 1 tsp cumin seeds

Add the potato and stir for a minute or so. 
Add the ketchup, Pav bhaji masala, turmeric, and chilli powder. 
Add the rice and salt and combine it such that there are no lumps. The tomato mixture/gravy should be evenly distributed.
