Pav Bhaji Fondue is a new and yet familiar concept for India's favourite street food: pav bhaji. Get the most out of pav bhaji by trying it as fondue. There is, of course, the pav bhaji fondue, which is first prepared as a thick and rich base for the pav bhaji by mixing pieces of potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and bell peppers saut ed with onions, ginger, garlic, and pav bhaji masala, all of which are then mashed up to make a smooth and thick curry, both spicy and savoury. The ideal creaminess and smoothness of the pav bhaji fondue come from adding butter, milk, and a small amount of fresh cream to the mix. The rich base is then put into a warm, ready-for-dipping fondue pot. The beauty of the pav bhaji fondue lies in its versatility in being served with pieces of soft pav or other dippable items such as naan or tortilla chips. The pieces are dipped into the warm, spicy bhaji, creating a comfortable snacking dish that will surely be a hit at any party gathering. The pav bhaji fondue recipe is a pretty indulgent way to enjoy the basic pav bhaji dish, as cheesy, creamy add-ons might make it more and more desirable. Serve at a dinner party or as a snack: pav bhaji fondue will surely delight your guests with bold flavours and an interactive presentation.
