Tawa Vegetable Pulao - Mumbai Street Style !!

Tawa pulao is Mumbai's popular street food.  They use butter, pav bhaji masala and red chilly paste as the main ingredients.  But, I used red chilly powder instead of paste.  Add some salt, while cooking the rice.  If you have leftover pav bhaji or cooked rice, try this tawa pulao and enjoy this with your favourite raita.
