How Pav Bhaji fits in your diet
A 1 plate (1 pav + bhaji, ~300 g) of pav bhaji contributes about 16% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 24% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with potato, tomato, capsicum, peas, butter, pav-bhaji masala.
Spiced mashed vegetable curry (bhaji) served with butter-toasted soft rolls (pav). For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
