Mumbai style Tawa Pulao using leftover rice

Sharing is caring!

Mumbai Style Tawa Pulao is a flavourful, spicy pulao and a famous street food from mumbai. Generally the pay bhaji vendors, sell this along Tawa Pulao along with the pav bhaji. They have huge tawa (griddle) where they are making the bhaji. On the same tawa, they add some rice, mix it along with the bhaji and loads of butter to make this delicious tawa pulao.

It is a street food, but I feel it is a bit healthy if you do not over do the spices (masalas’s) and butter. You can make this in two ways, either use your leftover Pav bhaji or make a similar bhaji and add your rice to it. I made it the later way.

It is also a good way to use your leftover rice and if you are bored of the usual rice or need something different. It is also a good idea for lunch box and if you want to give it to your kids adjust the spices accordingly. All in all we enjoyed this with a boondi Raita and papad on the side.
