rangeelaraja Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Who else is fascinated by the Mumbai Pav ? Why isn't such appetizing PAV/bread made anywhere else in India. Not even in adjoining Pune. Ok, it is whitebread, it is 'unhealthy'. But taste wise - if you are looking for bread to have along with chai - nothing in the world comes close to the Mumbai Pav with Amul butter. What is so special about the Mumbai Pav, that no part of India is able to replicate it ?? Under_Score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetle Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Most pavs are freshly baked everyday unlike packed bread. Freshly baked with butter usually tastes good. On a side note, wada pav is the most over rated street food. diga, Vilander and coffee_rules 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Fried potato sandwich bread made of maida and butter, IMO most hyped street food of India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not a big fan of Mumbai street food , right from dosas to Pizzas all taste the same , even wada pav these days is ruined by stuffing 100 other things into it . People dont appreciate authentic food in Mumbai . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 As much as I agree that it is over rated compared to other street foods, being a Indian food fan in general, I still love Vada Pav. I can have it every day with chai. I would love to go Mumbai on my next trip and try all the popular ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda-esque Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Agree..Mumbai paav is a thing of beautyJust the right crustiness and soft insideMust be the waterSent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetle Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 3 hours ago, jusarrived said: you get that in goa , but i guess its not popular in rest of India I have had a pav straight from the oven in Goa. The kind that they sell in baskets on cycles early in the morning. This was a really old run down bakery making very basic pav with very basic ingredients. It is made fresh and sold fresh to people for breakfast . Since it has no oil as ingredient...it becomes hard by the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find it over rated, it is an issue with your taste buds...or you have not had vada pav at the right places. beetle and Under_Score 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
