    Tonak Pav

    by Nisha

    Goa may be a vacation spot for many. Beaches, resort, vacation and relaxation. But for me its more than that. It was my second home. It was pouring raining cats and dogs when I first stepped into Goa 9 years back and I was almost like a lost kid in the carnival. Four years of blissful college years in a beautiful campus over looking the Zuari river. As soon as I saw this recipe is one of the options in this month's BM, my spirits went high. Then and there I decided this would be my choice. Today's post is about a Goan style Pav Bhaji known as Tonak Pav in remembrance of my good old lively days.
