About Pav

Pav is a soft, fluffy bread roll that originated in India, inspired by Portuguese bread-making techniques. It is a staple in Indian street food and is typically paired with savory dishes like pav bhaji, vada pav, or served alongside curries. Made with refined flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and water, pav is baked to attain its light texture and outer crust. While pav is an excellent source of carbohydrates, its high refined flour content means it lacks fiber and essential nutrients. Additionally, pav dishes often incorporate butter or oil, which can add saturated fats to the meal. For a healthier option, some prefer whole-grain versions of pav or use it in moderation within a balanced diet. Despite its lower nutritional profile, pav remains popular for its versatility and its ability to complement a wide array of vibrant Indian flavors.
