Mutton Doin': Kheema Pav

"It's far more interestingly seasoned than a Midwestern Sloppy Joe. with a whiplash of flavors between the cool herbs and warm spices that kept me interested without fatiguing my palate." Mutton Doin': Kheema Pav

Kheema, or often keema, is a word for minced meat derived from Turkic languages. Variations of the word exists in Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu, likely coming to those languages via the Persian qeema. At an Indian meat market recently, I bought minced goat that was labeled as mutton keema–the word seems to be commonly used simply to refer to minced meat. But Kheema also refers to a dish, or perhaps a…

Pav Bhaji Hut, 37100 Fremont Blvd, Ste A, Fremont, CA 94536

Did you know that over 15 million people eat pav bhaji on an average day in Mumbai? The popular Mumbai street food started as the lunchtime staple for the textile mill workers in Mumbai in the 1850s. Later, it became a popular street food throughout India. I learned about these pav bhaji facts at Pav Bhaji Hut (PBH).

PBH got its start in Ahmedabad, India. They claim to be the first restaurants and food trucks in the US dedicated to serving authentic pav bhaji. In fact, there’s only one dish on the menu, pav bhaji, with the option to add amul cheese ($2.49) or extra pav ($3,99). An order of pav bhaji is $12.99. You can also ask for an adjustment in the spice level. Traditionally, it is a spicy curry. The Amul cheese was grated. It’s similar to mozzarella, mild in flavor.

They also serve cold pressed juices. Seems a bit strange to have juice with such a rich curry, but given the heat in Mumbai, juice must always sound appealing.

Pav bhaji is a vegetable curry (tomato, onion, potatoes, cilantro, garlic) with a special blend of spices called bhaji masala, served with hot buttered Portuguese rolls. They’re like King’s Hawaiian rolls (also Portuguese-inspired), but PBH doesn’t use King’s Hawaiian rolls. PBH uses Amul butter (a blend of cow milk and buffalo milk) imported from India and cooks on an original Indian tawa pan. It’s vegetarian.

Pav bhaji with cheese: The Amul cheese was served on the side, along with chopped red onions, a lime wedge, and two hot buttered pav. The curry was topped with a pat of butter and chopped cilantro. The curry is very dark and it’s hard to tell what vegetables are in it. It’s like a thick, spicy gravy with mashed veggies. It’s bold in flavor, oily, and heavily spiced. I found it a bit too salty. The amount of cheese they gave me was very generous. I only used a little. I would omit the cheese next time. The hot buttered rolls were the best part – soft, but with slightly crispy edges, buttery.

The space is attractive and has a chain like feel. It’s fairly large and looks newish. Street parking was easy to find and the complex has its own parking as well. I received a 5% cash discount.

Khari biscuit at Mumbai Irani Cafes | History Of Food | HT Lifestyle

Mumbai khari biscuit love? Chai Bisket? No! I would prefer Chai and Khari on lazy afternoons… Yaar we all know that tea without snacks is no fun. And an all-time favorite snack with tea has got to be the simple but addictive Khari Biscuit. Go back to the last time you dipped the flaky and light khari into your kadak cup of chai. The amazing feeling of it crumbling and melting in your mouth is so unparalleled! Though they borrow a lot from French puff pastry, the version we know in India most likely has origins much closer to home.

Bombay Sandwich & KARAK CHAI

[50shadesofloveanddukh]

Nostalgia

There’s something about Mumbai’s street food during winter. Even-though the food feels like a literal fireball in your mouth, while you try to enjoy it ,the steaming heat bursts from your mouth and you hastily wait for it to cool down. The flavours feel like a carnival in your mouth. A little tangy, a little savoury, a little sour and VERY spicy. They tingle your tastebuds and it feels like a huge explosion in your mouth. For some it’s the flavours that make street food their favourite . Although for me personally it’s the memories and nostalgia making it iconic. It reminds me of the time when I used to go out with my family and eat chana masala and Maggi which was always so spicy for me to handle LOL. Us laughing, gossiping and enjoying the cool winter breeze with the constant chattering of happy strangers and the infectious joy that they spread makes street food special and the taste too of course :p
