This Maharashtra delicacy is served in almost all big hotels and roadside eateries, and has a savoury taste.
It is a thick vegetable curry made from seasonal vegetables, potatoes, tomatoes and onions served with pav, which is bread roll topped with butter. It is best served hot. The word ‘pav’ comes from the Portuguese word for bread and ‘bhaji’ in Marathi means a vegetable dish.

An exciting experience...cooking "in" Mumbai - I got this class as a gift and really enjoyed the experience. Although we already cooked Indian food before this was a true authentic experience with a very friendly cooking teacher and as a result a delicious meal. Especially in times without travelling a perfect way to get a small view into an Indian kitchen.Thanks a lot. I can only highly recommend zu.

A must do for anyone who wants to learn how to cook delicious authentic Indian food. - I bought this experience for my husband’s birthday, and I'm so glad I did. We cooked a wonderfully delicious meal (Pav Bhakti) online alongside Mrs Jethva in her kitchen in Mumbai. It was a vegetarian dish, followed by a rice desert -
that beats our British rice puddings hands down! Her and her husband contacted us beforehand with the recipe and gave us instructions, so all the preparations were done by the time it started. This meant that we were ready to go and we then spent an hour of creating wonderful smells and tastes in our kitchen with Mrs Jethva in hers.
All of the measurements come in American cup sizes so if you’re not used to that you’ll need to convert to oz or g.
We did it over our phone via WhatsApp- we couldn’t get our web WhatsApp film to work on our laptop - it would have made it a bit easier if we could have done it that way, but that was technology at our end. There were a couple of technical glitches where the connection dropped but we always reconnected.
I would thoroughly recommend this. It is definitely authentic, Mrs Jethva has an envious array of spices and foods in her kitchen, and her gas stove, and because it was divali she had decorated a part of her home and you could hear the fire crackers going off outside. The food at the end was absolutely delicious, and now I’ve got the recipe and know how I will definitely be cooking it again. I’m so pleased we did this and would highly recommend it to anyone else who would like to be taught how to cook Indian food direct from India.

Delightful experience for the cooking and beyond - This was a great experience being in a kitchen in the middle of large slum in Mumbai and see the pride in our hosts faces. They were a joy to watch, listen to, and see their home and outside their windows. I did not cook, just followed along and took notes. I'll be cooking this just as soon as some of the spices arrive. Thank you, and I'll be back for more!

Excellent Mumbai cooking experience - This was an excellent couple of hours learning to cook the Mumbai way. My dad booked this online cooking class as a surprise for my mums birthday. It was brilliant from the get go. The English from our host was excellent. I would definitely recommend this unique cooking experience.
