Pav bhaji Dosa

Pav Bhaji Dosa is a unique and exciting fusion dish that combines the beloved South Indian dosa with the popular Mumbai street food, Pav Bhaji. This inventive recipe features a crispy, golden dosa filled with a spicy, tangy pav bhaji mixture made from a medley of vegetables and aromatic spices. The result is a savoury, satisfying meal that offers the best of both worlds—traditional dosa and flavourful pav bhaji.

Why You’ll Love Pav Bhaji Dosa

  • Flavourful Fusion: Enjoy the crispy texture of dosa paired with the rich, spicy flavours of pav bhaji, creating a delicious and innovative dish.
  • Nutrient-Rich: Packed with vegetables and spices, this dosa not only tastes great but also provides a healthy boost of vitamins and minerals.
  • Versatile: Serve it as a hearty breakfast, a satisfying lunch, or a creative dinner option that’s sure to please everyone at the table.

How to Make Pav Bhaji Dosa

  1. Prepare the Pav Bhaji Mixture: Cook a variety of vegetables such as potatoes, peas, carrots, and bell peppers with pav bhaji masala, tomatoes, and onions. Mash the vegetables and let the mixture simmer to develop rich flavours.
  2. Make the Dosa Batter: Prepare the dosa batter using rice and urad dal, and allow it to ferment until it reaches the right consistency. At times I make a special Dosa batter which is included in this post.
  3. Assemble the Dosa: Heat a griddle, pour the dosa batter, and spread it into a thin layer. Spoon the pav bhaji mixture onto one side of the dosa, fold, and cook until crispy and golden.

99 Variety Dosas

India’s culinary diversity extends to dosas, with a myriad of varieties that cater to every taste and preference. The concept of 99 varieties of dosas showcases the creativity and versatility of this iconic South Indian dish. From classic masala dosas to innovative options like cheese dosa, corn dosa, and even dessert dosas, the choices are endless. Each dosa variant offers a unique combination of ingredients and flavors, making it an exciting experience for dosa lovers.

Why Pav Bhaji Dosa Stands Out

  • Creative Fusion: Blends the traditional dosa with the iconic pav bhaji, offering a new twist on classic flavours.
  • Satisfying and Filling: The combination of dosa and pav bhaji makes for a hearty meal that’s perfect for any time of the day.
  • Customizable: Adjust the spiciness and ingredients of the pav bhaji to suit your taste, making each dosa uniquely yours.

Niranjana Sankaranarayanan
Dosa or Dosai is a popular breakfast recipe in South india but has become popular in North India too. Due to the cultural influence of the local place, the dosa started getting new form and hence the 99 Variety dosa was born. Among that one is Pav bhaji dosa.  These are extremely popular street food in Mumbai. Some people spread the cooked Bhaji on the top of the dosa but here we will cook the bhaji on the top of the dosa in low flame. This can be called as a fusion dosa. Also there is an information that this Dosa was introduced by a couple in Haasan, karnataka.
