So the other day I was searching for some random recipse when I came across this interesting way of making Healthy Pav Bhaji via a popular blog named Saffron Trails. Now you heard it right healthy pav bhaji, this means first we would let go potato and may be add sweet potato but wait that’s not it.
Don’t be surprised if I tell you to add soya nuggets too with some dark pink beetroot. I am sure as you read this you are not able to connect the flavor but I hear you for I too felt the same. So to know how this healthy pav bhaji tastes you will have to cook it and go through your litmus test. My litmus test for this healthy pav bhaji was my toddler and his thumbs gave me enough confidence to give it to my husband too. Now this will have a little different taste but then to make it blend as much as you can wash and squeeze boiled nuggets as much as you can.But then since both sweet potato and beet root are sweet, soya granules balances the taste . You might need to spice it up bit more but the end product is something you would just love.
