Frequently Asked Questions

What does pav bhaji masala taste like?

Pav bhaji masala tastes tangy, slightly spicy, buttery, and rich. The combination of amchur (mango powder), fennel, and warm spices gives it a unique flavour unlike any other Indian masala.

Can I substitute pav bhaji masala with garam masala?

Not really. Pav bhaji masala has a very specific flavour profile, particularly the tanginess from amchur and the fennel note. Garam masala cannot replicate it.

Is pav bhaji a vegetarian dish?

Yes. Traditional pav bhaji is entirely vegetarian — made from mixed vegetables and served with bread rolls. The masala powder itself is also vegetarian.

What vegetables are used in pav bhaji?

Pav bhaji typically includes potatoes, peas, cauliflower, capsicum, and tomatoes. Some versions also add carrots, beetroot (for colour), and beans.

Which brand of pav bhaji masala is most authentic?

Everest Pav Bhaji Masala is the most popular brand among both street food vendors and home cooks across India and the Indian diaspora.

How much masala per serving of pav bhaji?/summary>

Use 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of pav bhaji masala for a bhaji serving 4 people. The masala is quite potent, so start with less and add to taste.

Yes. Velspices stocks Everest and MDH pav bhaji masala with Australia-wide delivery. Most orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days.

Can pav bhaji masala be used for other dishes?

Yes. Pav bhaji masala can be used to season roasted vegetables, create spiced mashed potatoes, and add a Mumbai-street-food flavour to sandwiches and wraps.
