Pav Bhaji Masala is a quintessential spice blend used in Indian cuisine to flavor Pav Bhaji, a popular street food dish originating from Maharashtra, India. Pav Bhaji is a hearty and flavorful vegetable curry made with a medley of mashed vegetables cooked in a spiced tomato-based gravy, typically served with buttered and toasted bread rolls (pav). The key ingredient that imparts the distinctive taste to Pav Bhaji is the Pav Bhaji Masala, which is a unique blend of spices carefully selected to create the perfect balance of flavors. The process of making Pav Bhaji Masala involves dry-roasting whole spices to release their essential oils and enhance their flavors. Common spices used in Pav Bhaji Masala include coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, cloves, cinnamon, black peppercorns, dried red chilies, and dried mango powder (amchur).
