  1. Pav bhaji sandwitch. Thats a new concept and the recipe is easy, atleast not too hard :)

    I am happy that you never miss any of my posts though I miss a lot. Sorry this is only because of time constraints but I try to read them whenever I get time, not because I have to do something back but I like the blog.

    I am not a regular reader of all the blogs but I often read some blogs that have the things explained in a easy way.

    We get the pavs stuffed with bhaji in Nagpur and call them dabeli. They have a chatpata taste.
