Trivia
[Hardcore] Carnivorous version of 'Pav Bhaji'. Chicken Keema is increasing, but on hardcore streets, the original subduing 'mutton's intense aroma/fat' with massive spices/butter is supreme. A dish feeling history/heat spreading to streets from 'Irani Cafes' opened by Persian immigrants in Mumbai.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Slit butter-baked bread middle, pack piping hot mutton Keema to the limit, place raw red onions biting like a 'Keema Burger'!
