The original version, made with a spiced mashed vegetable mixture (bhaji) including potatoes, tomatoes, peas, carrots, and bell peppers.
A cheesy twist on the classic. A layer of grated cheese is added to the bhaji, making it creamy and rich.
This is a super buttery version where the pav is generously slathered with butter and then toasted, and the bhaji is also cooked with extra butter.
A vegetarian version that omits onions, garlic, and certain vegetables (like cauliflower).
Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) is added to the bhaji, making it more filling and rich. The bhaji takes on a slightly creamy texture due to the paneer.
The pav is toasted in a tandoor or on a grill, giving it a smoky flavor, while the bhaji is spiced up with tandoori masala or garam masala.
