Badshah Pav Bhaji Masala 100g

Badshah Pav Bhaji Masala (100g)—specifically known as the “Mumbai Bhaji Pav Masala”—is the gold standard for many who want that authentic, buttery, street-style flavor at home.

Price Guide (February 2026)

The MRP for the 100g carton is typically ₹88 to ₹90, but the actual price you pay depends heavily on where you shop.

What Makes It Authentic?

Unlike some brands that focus purely on heat, Badshah’s blend includes Stone Flower (Lichen) and Mace, which provide that specific “earthy” aroma you smell at a Mumbai beach stall.

• Color: It uses Kashmiri Red Chili to give the bhaji a rich, deep red color without making it painfully spicy.

• Tang: It has a balanced amount of Amchoor (Dry Mango Powder) and Black Salt, so you don’t need to overdo the lemon juice at the end.

The “Street-Style” Secret

To make your Pav Bhaji taste exactly like the pros:

1. Butter First: Always sauté the masala in a generous amount of butter before adding the mashed vegetables. This “blooms” the spices.

2. The Masala-Pav: Don’t just serve plain buns! Take a ladle of your finished bhaji, put it on the tawa with more butter, and toast your pavs directly in that mixture.

3. Kasuri Methi: While the masala is great, adding a pinch of crushed Kasuri Methi at the very end (along with this masala) takes it to the next level.
