ADHIRA Pav Bhaji Masala is an authentic Mumbai-style spice blend carefully prepared by the women of Adhira Mahila SHG from Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra. This Pack of 200 gm captures the bold, buttery, and slightly tangy flavour that defines India’s most loved street food – pav bhaji.

Pav bhaji originated on the streets of Mumbai as a quick, hearty meal for workers, and over time it became a nationwide favourite. The soul of pav bhaji lies in its masala – a carefully balanced mix of spices that brings together vegetables, butter, and pav into one unforgettable taste. ADHIRA Pav Bhaji Masala is crafted using traditional ratios of handpicked spices to recreate that authentic street-style experience in home kitchens.

The women of Adhira Mahila SHG follow a meticulous process while preparing this masala. Whole spices are cleaned thoroughly, sun-dried, gently roasted, and ground in small batches. This ensures the preservation of natural oils, colour, and aroma. The result is a vibrant masala that delivers consistent flavour without overpowering the dish.

Usage

ADHIRA Pav Bhaji Masala is ideal for preparing classic pav bhaji, masala bhaji, and tawa-style vegetable mash. Add the masala while cooking boiled vegetables with butter, onions, tomatoes, and ginger-garlic paste. It can also be used to flavour pulao, sandwiches, wraps, and fusion street-food recipes.

Care

Store the masala in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Always use a dry spoon. Seal the pack properly after use to retain aroma, colour, and freshness.
