Indian food is a combination of different things. The main course is accompanied by side accompaniments like chutneys and pickles, and we have our drinks as well. Without these things our food can seem incomplete. While the essence of the food is the same across cultures, the ingredients and dishes may differ. For example, many people like to eat pav (bread) with various curries and vegetables. The pav culture has grown so much over the years that we even have unique recipes that just go with that particular bun. There is something so delicious about Butter Crispy Pav that we enjoy it with anything! So, if you also want to make some special pav dishes, then here we have a list of pav recipes that you can make for lunch. Check out these recipes below:
