This is an Indian recipe. You can get Pav Bhaji masala from an Indian Store. Notes: 1. If you are using salted butter do not add too much of salt. 2. Rice should not be overcooked as we are going to cook them with veggies and masala. 3. For making tawa pulao veggies should not be mushy like pav bhaji they should only be for tender. 4. You can use more or less chilly, lemon juice according to your taste.
