Spiced minced meat (usually mutton) with onion, ginger, tomato and garam masala, served with buttered pav rolls. Parsi and Mughlai institution.

Kheema pav crosses Parsi and Muslim Mumbai. Both communities adapted minced meat curry to the Portuguese-introduced pav over the early 20th century; Britannia serves a Parsi version with tomato and spice, while Mohammed Ali Road and Bademiya serve a Mughlai version with deeper masala and a top of fried egg. Sunday breakfast staple across the city, served everywhere from Irani cafes to Sunday-morning street counters.
