Jain Pav Bhaji is a vegetarian version of the classic Pav Bhaji, where onions and garlic are excluded from the recipe. This variation is popular among the Jain community in India, who follow a strict vegetarian diet that excludes root vegetables and certain spices. The bhaji is made with a mix of mashed vegetables like cauliflower, peas, bell peppers, and tomatoes, cooked in a tomato-based gravy. The spices used in this recipe are specially selected to be Jain-friendly, without the use of onions, garlic, or root vegetables. The dish is served with buttered pav and garnished with chopped onions, coriander leaves, and a squeeze of lemon juice. This homemade recipe is perfect for those who follow a Jain diet or prefer a no-onion, no-garlic version of Pav Bhaji.
