Food is important for every life. We need to eat daily after every certain time. Without food, nobody can survive. But foodies search for fun & happiness in food. They try different kinds of food for breakfast, lunch or dinner and sometimes they find such fun & happiness in food. Soya keema pav is such kind of breakfast food. Foodies will definitely say that happiness means having veg keema pav at home during weekends or holidays. Did you ever try such veg kheema pav ever? It is very delicious.
This breakfast is very simple and mouth-watering.
If you like pav bhaji then you will certainly like this food too. I tried this kind of keema pav in Mumbai. I did not realize that it is actually prepared with soya chunks. When I asked the seller then I came to know that it was soya kheema.
He also prepared the pav with a lot of butter & spices. But that much butter in soya keema as well as in pav, I can not add that much in homemade breakfast because that won’t be healthy. So I added very less amount of butter as compared with that soya keema pav what I had from the roadside street food stall. Otherwise, the taste of my veg keema pav was almost the same.
If you are non-vegetarian then also you will definitely enjoy it and you will be surprised that without adding meat/chicken such keema can be so delicious. You can even misunderstand that this meal is prepared without using any meat/chicken.
