Learn how to make Paneer pav bhaji recipe, step by step and full video recipe. A delicious twist to the regular pav bhaji, perfect for get togethers and birthday party menu.
I wanted to try this for a long time now and since had pav buns, thought this time I will try making the regular pav bhaji to paneer pav bhaji.
This is same as the one I posted earlier, but believe me, adding paneer makes it more yummy and perfect crowd pleaser too. These days pav bhaji gets many fancy twists (like the pav bhaji foude etc.) but I guess this is much old street food available in North India very easily.

Top tip
My friend once told me a tip that even if you do not have pav bhaji masala, go ahead and do it with red chilli powder, garam masala powder/ kitchen king masala and little dhaniya powder.
I wanted to share it for long time that I tried it and it does work. Just in case of emergencies, you can try this too. Pav bhaji is one of my family favorites, most of the time I won't be left with any pav, both Aj, Vj loves it.
We kind of have it as dinner, not as snack. I am fine with it as some veggies goes in too. Though the pav buns are not left for me, I am happy about it and have it with whole meal bread. It turns out delicious.
