I love street food is not a news to the regular reader of this blog. I think every city’s street food has a character of its own, whether its Delhi kulcha chola and aloo tikki or Kolkatta’s puchka or Bangalore’s ragda patties or Mumbai’s pav bhaji or for the meat lovers the kheema pav.
I have had my tryst with Mumbai street food a couple of times and I have to say I have I loved what I tasted and then someone was talking to me about Brun Pav and the way they described it felt so interesting then a kind friend who was traveling from Bombay brought it for me, the first thing I did was tasted it and I fell in love with it and hence began the search on what to eat it with and the first thing that came to my mind was Kheema, I shared it with N who seemed equally excited about the Kheema Pav. Now I regularly make kheema at home to be had stuffed in rolls or like N likes with rice but that is more punjabi style of making kheema and when I was searching for the authentic mumbai street style I found a recipe at AppleMint that I liked.
I think the kheema complimented the texture of the brun a lot. I also read that traditionally kheema pav is had with the standard mumbai butter pav and not brun, I also had the ladi pav at home and tried it with that. It was great but somehow I personally preferred the combination with brun rather than with the ladi. Both N and O said that they liked it better with ladi than with the brun so if you don’t have brun go ahead and have it with ladi I say, I am gonna search for brun or may be try making my own next time.

What yumm flavor Mon. Slurrpp
Brun is also delicious with just butter and jam! Sunny’s have brun delivered daily which they serve with a garlicky herb butter – also delicious! Will try this kheema recipe….thanks.
You have sold it to me. I will be making this with chicken this weekend. 🙂
I personally like it with ladi pav more..
I like to add a bit of ‘tari’ which is like red chilli paste in it as well (after turning off the gas) as I like mine more spicy
Simple awesome pav…
Hey Monica,
I have been reading your blog for a long long time and I really appreciate the great work you do.
I have noticed one small thing I couldn’t help but correct. It is never ‘chola’. It is chhole bhature and chhole kulche.
I know it sounds a little odd for me to pin point such a small thing, but trust, that word is really really bad in Punjabi. You don’t want to know what it means.
