Indian street food is all about flavours. No matter the day or time, a plate of delicious fast-food dish from any corner of the country can make your day. One of the most popular fast foods, often eaten as a breakfast, is the pav bhaji. It won’t be an understatement to say that it is one of the most flavoursome and hearty meals out there.
