Jain Pav Bhaji

Cultural Context

Pav Bhaji originated in the bustling streets of Mumbai, where it became a popular fast food among the masses. Traditionally, it was a meal for the working class, made from leftover vegetables and served with buttered bread rolls (pav). Jain Pav Bhaji is a variation that omits certain ingredients like onions and garlic, adhering to Jain dietary restrictions. Today, this dish is enjoyed across India and has inspired numerous adaptations worldwide, reflecting its universal appeal.
