My Notes:
- You can also veggies like beans and cauliflower.
- If you dont get pav buns, go ahead with normal milk buns or butter buns.
- Chopped tomatoes can be added too. Dont skip chopped raw onions and coriander leaves while serving.
- The bhaji goes well with toasted bread too.
- Dont skip butter as its the main ingredients which makes this chat tastier.
