Pav buns for pav bhaji

Wiki says, Pav bhaji is a fast food dish from India, consisting of a thick vegetable curry served with a soft bread roll. The dish originated in the 1850s as a fast lunchtime dish for textile mill workers in Mumbai. Pav bhaji was later served at restaurants throughout the city. Pav bhaji is now offered at outlets from simple hand carts to formal restaurants in India and abroad.

Recently I have been trying baking of various types of breads. O our family is a huge n of pav bhaji. When immae pull apart bread, I know pav will be a hit as well. Super soft pavs hot and fresh at home. I will not buy pavs here after.
