Pav bhaji is a popular Indian dish made from mashed potatoes and lentils simmered in a tomato-based sauce. It's often served as an appetizer or main course, and it can be sweet or savory. There are many variations of pav bhaji, but the most common ingredients are potatoes, peas, onions, spices (cumin, turmeric), and tomatoes. Pav Bhaji can also include chicken or beef if desired.

Some common variations of pav bhaji include the addition of chaat masala or grated ginger to the mix, along with different types and levels of heat. Some people also prefer their pav bhajis served with soft naan bread instead of traditional pavs.
