Laadi means slab in Marathi. Laadi pav is a slab of fresh pavs coming hot off the oven. There are many local bakeries around my neighborhood in Mumbai. We used to know when the fresh batch of bread was going to come off the oven and we used to go at that time to pick up the freshly made, hot pavs.Every blogger seems to have their own version of Laadi pav. My version is based on this recipe at allrecipes.com
