Pav bhaji Masala

Pav Bhaji Masala

Bring the zing of Mumbai’s street food into your home kitchen with this tangy, bold spice mix. Vaahe Pav Bhaji Masala is the secret behind that unmistakable flavor of Pav Bhaji, Mumbai’s iconic street dish of spiced vegetable mash and butter-toasted buns. This blend is a medley of aromatic spices and dried herbs that recreates the magic of enjoying pav bhaji at Chowpatty Beach – the first bite bursting with tangy tomatoes, warm cumin, and a hint of smoky chilli. We’ve captured the essence of Maharashtra’s culinary heritage in this masala, using traditional ingredients like dry ginger for heat and amchur (dried mango) for tartness. The outcome is a spice blend that's vibrant, full-bodied, and intensely rewarding. Each sprinkle has the commotion of Mumbai street food!

Features & Highlights:

• Street-Style Authenticity:Street-Style Authenticity: Designed to replicate the flavor of true Mumbai pav bhaji, our masala guarantees a perfect blend of spice and pungency. Your pav bhaji made at home will have that taste as if it's served by a busy street food stall at Juhu Beach!
• High-Quality Spices: Blended with over 90% pure spices such as coriander, cumin, fennel, star anise, and nutmeg, together in exactly the right quantities. We only add a very small quantity of salt (about 3%) to season, so you're essentially getting all spice punch in every spoonful. And an anticaking agent (INS 551) is also added so the powder remains free-flowing in Mumbai's high humidity – no clumping, just smooth sprinkling.
• Colourful & Aromatic: The addition of dry ginger powder and bay leaf to the mix adds a depth of warmth to your bhaji (veggie curry), and a dash of turmeric adds an earthy flavour. You can smell the cool fragrance of fennel and the pungent spice of clove and cardamom the moment you lift the lid.
• Flexible Application: Don't be misled by the name – this pav bhaji masala is not limited to pav bhaji alone! It's a multi-purpose spice mix you can apply to other recipes as well. Add it on tava pulao (a rice recipe), to bhaji (vegetable stir-fries) or even lentil soups for a tasty change. It serves as a general-purpose masala for any tomato curry, giving the flavor an instant boost.
• Pure & Unadulterated: In keeping with Vaahe's values, this mix has no artificial color, flavor, or additive. Zero adulteration translates to nothing but the pure spice. Every ingredient is sourced responsibly – for example, our cumin is sourced from Rajasthan and black pepper from Kerala – and processed under rigorous quality checks. The spices are ground and mixed in small batches, then sealed straight away, so you find maximum freshness in every use. 

Sourcing & Quality: 

Vaahe Pav Bhaji Masala is prepared with the same love as all our spices – ethically sourced from farmers all over India and blended to perfection. We collaborate with farmers from various places so that each spice is sourced from a place well known for quality. All the ingredients are washed, sun-dried, and powdered without any horrid additives. The mix gets its brilliant color from actual turmeric and Kashmiri chilli (no synthetic reds, please!) and its scent from whole spices freshly ground (not stale pre-ground powders). Single-origin sourcing ensures the cumin you experience is probably from one sole farm, providing an even robust flavor. We also observe strict food safety and good manufacturing practices to provide a safe and pure product. When you cook with our Pav Bhaji Masala, you're not merely preparing food, you're experiencing a cultural moment with a product that's grounded in quality and heritage.
