Pav Bhaji Masala

Pav Bhaji Masala Mumbai Special (Quick n Easy) 100% Natural Authentic Indian Speciality Spice Mix

The soul of Mumbai. In one spoonful.

Pav Bhaji is not just a dish — it's an emotion. The sizzling butter, the vibrant mashed vegetables, the soft pav toasted on a hot tawa — and underneath it all, that deeply spiced masala that makes Mumbai's street food unlike anything else in the world.

Kardemome's Mumbai Pav Bhaji Masala No. 108 captures that exact street-side magic, handcrafted from pure whole spices in small batches. No shortcuts, no fillers. Just the real, bold, buttery flavour of the best pav bhaji you've ever had — made right in your own kitchen.

No artificial flavours. No colours. No preservatives.

What's inside

A rich, complex blend of coriander, cumin, red chilli, turmeric, dry mango powder, clove, cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper — balanced to give you that signature deep-red, street-style pav bhaji flavour every single time.

Mumbai-style Pav Bhaji — the classic recipe

Serves 4 | Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 20 minutes

What you'll need:

• 2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup cauliflower, boiled
• 1 cup green peas
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 capsicum, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Kardemome Pav Bhaji Masala No. 108
• 3 tbsp butter (don't hold back — this is Mumbai)
• Salt to taste
• Pav buns, to serve

Method:

1. Heat butter in a wide, flat pan on medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until golden.
2. Add tomatoes and capsicum, cook until soft and mushy — about 5 minutes.
3. Add all the boiled vegetables and mash everything together roughly with a masher or back of a spoon.
4. Add Kardemome Pav Bhaji Masala and salt. Mix well and cook for 3–4 minutes, adding a splash of water if it gets too thick.
5. Finish with a generous knob of butter on top, a squeeze of lemon, and finely chopped raw onion.
6. Toast your pav buns on the same buttery pan until golden. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: The secret to great pav bhaji is mashing everything in the pan while it cooks — not before. It creates a deeper, richer texture than pre-mashing.

Also delicious with:

• Stuffed pav bhaji rolls — great for kids' lunchboxes
• Pav bhaji pasta — yes, it works brilliantly
• As a base sauce for quick vegetable wraps
