My husband suddenly wanted to have Pav Bhaji for lunch and I somehow ended up making it. I also thought it was a good chance to open up the Pav Bhaji masala packet after a very long time. So, here's the dish with the recipe and the picture :)
Serves 4 people
Ingredients:
Veggie Mix - (Gobi, potatoes, carrots, green peppers are all chopped into cubes)
Gobi (Cauliflower) - 1 cup
Potatoes (peeled) - 1.5 cup
Carrot (cubed) - 1
Green Pepper - 1/2 cup
Green Peas - 1/2 cup
Onions (chopped) - 1 to 1.5 cups
Green Chillies (4) chopped
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1.5 teaspoons
Tomatoes (chopped)- 4
Lemon - 1
Red Chilli Powder
Oil - 2 to 3 teaspoons
Salt
Pav Bhaji Masala - 2.5 to 3 teaspoons
Butter (optional)
Turmeric Powder
Pav/ Bread
Bhaji preparation:
Boil the veggie mix in a cooker to the maximum level (so that they can be mashed easily). Heat oil in a bowl and add green chillies. After a minute add ginger garlic paste and saute for another minute. Now roast half cup of onions till they turn golden brown. Add chopped tomatoes and let it cook until they almost turn into a paste. Strain the veggies and keep the water too. That can be used at the end or in between the process. After tomatoes are cooked, add the veggies and mash them as much as you can. After you see some consistency, add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and pav bhaji masala. Add the strained out water and let it cook for 10 minutes. Ask your spouse to check if the taste is ok (just kidding ;)) It'll be ready to serve after the above procedure :)
Pav preparation:
Heat a pan and roast the bread/bhaji. You can add butter/ghee for better taste :)
Serve it with finely chopped onions+coriander and lemon!!
