Visit These 8 Places in Chennai for Deliciously Buttery Pav Bhaji
Most popular as a street food dish in Maharashtra, the Pav Bhaji has made its way into the hearts, tummies and menus of people all over the country. Some say that it is the perfect snack during the monsoons with a cup of chai by your side, others swear by it at any time of day or year. But what is most important is that it’s always going to be a delicious treat no matter what. What makes it really delicious is the amount of butter that is added into pretty much everything. The pav or the bread is lightly toasted and then buttered while hot so that when you pick it up, it’s absolutely perfect. The bhaji or the vegetables are cooked nicely and served as a thick gravy and then a dollop of butter is added just to make it even better.
Yes, yes, health freaks, it’s full of butter, but that’s what makes Pav Bhaji so popular and so tasty. And you can get this in so many places in the city of Chennai. So to help you find these places, we made a list. Take a look.
