Still gushing over the fact that when someone says Pav my reflux is Bhaji. I still didn’t get the reply from Prime Minister for making Pav Bhaji our national food. I’m disappointed in our Prime Minister’s behavior. He said, “ACCHE DIN AYENGE” and I’m still waiting for that to happen like others. This remarkable dish originated in India, which part? I’m not sure, but kudos to whoever came up with this. This dish is very popular in Maharashtra, a state in India. Every dish is made differently, and few people like it, and some don’t. I believe there is a taste in hands of the who cooks food. And there are very few restaurants with great hands.
