Tawa Pullao

Among the many noises on the streets of Mumbai - like traffic, horn, hawkers, construction work, local trains, bollywood music, cricket matches, ocean waves - one of the best noises to hear, especially when your are ravenous, is the "taka tak" of the huge spoons/ladles/spatulas on the equally huge tawa/pan. Yes - Pav bhaji, tawa pullao, paneer taka-tak! :-D

I found a wonderful tawa pulao recipe at chef Sanjeev Kapoor's website. I tried to make it healthier by using more veggies like purple cabbage, carrots, different colored bell peppers and even moong sprouts!! So for authentic recipe - please visit chef Kapoor's original version!

My modifications -
1. In order to make healthier, I added different veggies and sprouts.

Happy Thanksgiving.
I offer my heartfelt tribute to the victims of 26/11.
I love you, Mumbai.

I love the one being sold on Juhu Beach..Had tried it many times at home, sometimes it turns wonderful, other times so so..especially when my kid is going to share the same meal, coz then I need to make it less spicy...but I love it when its real real spicy ;-)
