Can we add garam masala instead of pav bhaji masala?

Response: Pav bhaji masala is the main ingredient in this recipe to get the specific flavor. However, if it is not available, you can add 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder instead of it but the final taste will be like vegetable masala pulao (not like tawa pulao).
