What-A-Pao: From Goa to Mumbai

In this episode, our 2Gs, the Gourmands & Geeks, Sadaf and Archit explore the routes of pao, various versions and the popular dishes paired with this piece of bread. They will discuss who introduced pao to a civilisation that used to only eat roti and how pao travelled to Mumbai from Goa. They also look at the Portuguese and Irani connections, shed light on the unique ways in which Pao is served in Mumbai and end with a fight over the vada pao.
So sit back and relax, toast some pao, put the butter and get on the bus journey from Mumbai to Goa.
