Pav Bhaji

By: Bongadi 
"This is a very popular recipe in India, liked by almost everyone. You may have to go to a nearby Asian Indian store to get the 'Pav Bhaji Masala' that is the special spice to bring the flavor (Masala means spice). Pav is actually the buns. Bhaji is the vegetables cooked with spice."

This was awesome. It's a little much for four servings; it was actually more like five or six.
