Pav Bhaji traces its origins back to Mumbai’s textile mill workers in the late 19th century. Facing long hours and meager lunch breaks, these workers needed a quick, hearty meal to sustain them through the day. Enter Pav Bhaji: a savory concoction of mashed vegetables cooked in a medley of spices, served with buttered pav (bread rolls). What started as a humble meal for the working class has now become a beloved street food across India and beyond. Pav Bhaji’s evolution from a practical lunch option to a cultural phenomenon speaks volumes about Mumbai’s vibrant food culture and its ability to transform necessity into culinary delight.
