My perfect pav recipe with all purpose flour, yeast, milk and butter. I always loved thin pavs but in US we generally get dinner rolls which are very dense. My plan was to make Vada Pav for dinner but didn’t want to use the readymade dinner rolls so decided to make the pav at home and it came out just perfect 🙂

I never imagined that i could make pav at home but i guess in today’s online world nothing is impossible. Thanks to my friend Asha from Food Fashion Party who helped me with the recipe and an online pav video from veggie fix for step step video instructions.

Being a mumbaite, pav has been a very important part of my diet. Most of my favorite dishes have pav in them…Misal Pav..Pav Bhaji..Vada Pav..Burji Pav..Dabeli….Isn’t it funny?

As a kid I loved the smell of freshly baked pav..aah that aroma! I am so happy that I experienced that in my kitchen today.
