I'm really craving pavbhaji, but I'm worried about eating street food during pregnancy. Is it generally considered safe to eat pavbhaji, especially if made at home?
My MIL made me homemade pav bhaji when I was craving street food, but she used less oil and spices. Having it once in a while is totally fine. Just don't eat outside roadside food to avoid any stomach upsets.
I am planning for a baby and love pav bhaji so much! It is good to know that homemade versions are safe to eat. Did you guys have any major acidity issues after eating it?
Beta, you can eat a little bit of homemade pav bhaji if you are craving it, but avoid outside street food. Street food can cause stomach infections which are not good. Put less butter and make sure the veggies are washed properly.
It is much safer and cheaper to make pav bhaji at home than ordering from outside. Getting a stomach infection means extra hospital visits and medicine costs, which we should definitely avoid. Just make it at home with clean ingredients.
My mother used to make delicious, hygienic pav bhaji at home with lots of fresh veggies and very little butter. Eating it at home is totally safe and satisfies your cravings. Just avoid the spicy market ones to prevent acidity.
