✨ Homemade Pav Bhaji with Soft Ladi Pav ✨

Ladi Pav Ingredients:
Maida 500g
Milk powder 57g
Sugar 24g
Instant yeast 7g
Salt 12g
Lukewarm milk 300ml
Lukewarm water 50ml
Butter 60g
Milk for brushing
Butter/oil for finishing

Method:
Mix flour, milk powder, sugar, yeast & salt. Gradually add milk + water and knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough. Add butter and knead until smooth and elastic.

Cover and proof until doubled. Divide into equal portions, shape into smooth balls and arrange close together in a greased tray. Proof again for 1–2 hrs or until doubled.

Brush with milk and bake at 190’C fan mode for 15–20 mins on the middle rack until golden. Brush with butter immediately after baking.

Bhaji Ingredients:
Cauliflower – 2 cups
Green peas – ¾ cup
Potato – 1 large
Carrots – 2 medium
Onions – 2 large, finely chopped
Tomatoes – 2 large, finely chopped
Oil – 5 tbsp
Pav Bhaji Masala – 2 tbsp
Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
Turmeric – 1 tsp
Salt – to taste
Water as required
Coriander for garnish

Bhaji Method:
Cut vegetables into chunks. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker, add vegetables and fry for 10–15 mins. Add ½ tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp pav bhaji masala, salt and ¼ cup water. Pressure cook until tender.

Heat remaining 3 tbsp oil in a pan. Add onions and cook until pink. Add tomatoes, remaining turmeric, red chilli powder, 1 tbsp pav bhaji masala and salt. Bhuno until the masala is cooked well and oil starts separating.

Mash the cooked vegetables and add them to the onion-tomato masala. Add a little water, mix well and cook for 10–15 mins on medium heat. Adjust salt, chilli and pav bhaji masala according to your taste. Finish with fresh coriander.
To serve, heat some butter on a tawa and add 1–2 spoonfuls of bhaji. Mix it with the butter, then place the pav cut-side down and toast until lightly golden and buttery.

Serve the hot pav with bhaji, finely chopped onions, lemon wedges, fresh coriander and a little extra butter on top. 😋

This is honestly the only place in Sydney and Newcastle where I truly love the chai. ❤️ at AMBI'S CHAI BAR

And this place is extra special to me because when I first came to Australia, the very first thing I had after landing was chai from here. Since then, it has always had a special place in my heart.

The chai is absolutely amazing, and I love everything about this place — the ambience, the vibes, and of course, the chai. It’s such a comforting and enjoyable spot.

If you’re a chai lover, you definitely need to try this place at least once. ☕✨

One thing I’ve genuinely noticed with Shehraan is how much more confident he has become with his English. ❤️

Since joining FunFox Program® , I’ve seen a really positive improvement in his reading, writing and overall understanding of English. As a mum, that’s what matters to me the most — seeing him learn without feeling pressured and actually enjoying the process. 📚✨

FunFox English classes are interactive and taught in small groups, so children get the attention and support they need while working on skills like reading, writing, comprehension, vocabulary and grammar.

If you’ve been thinking about giving your child some extra support with English, Term 4 starts on 12 October, so this is a good time to enrol.

Use my code ANJUMFF when enrolling to access your special offer. ❤️

I’m sharing this because I’ve personally seen the difference it has made for Shehraan, and I hope it can help your little one too. 🤍
