Pav bhaji bruschetta
Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer that consists of grilled bread(loaf,baguette etc) topped with tomato ,vegetables and cheese. Pav bhaji is a famous maharashtrian and Indian fast food,spicy and rich in vegetables. It is normally had with pav (buns) roasted in butter. I decided to give it a twisted by toppung pav bhaji on a baguette instead, and have it like a bruschetta.
