Mixed vegetables * 1 cup Potato 2 Chopped capsicum 3 tblsp Tomato puree 1/2 cup Red chili powder 1 tsp Cumin powder 1 tsp Pav bhaji masala 1 tsp Salt to taste Butter 1 tblsp Coriander leaves few Lemon juice 2 tsp Ginger a small piece Green chili 1 * I used carrot, cauliflower and green peas Video of Pav bhaji
Pressure cook the veggies and potatoes till 3-4 whistles.
Grind the ginger and green chili into a coarse paste.
Add butter in a pan and add the ginger chili paste. Cook for a minute in a low flame. Add in the chopped capsicum. If you want to add onions add it now. Cook for a minute.
Add in the tomato puree. I used home made tomato puree. You can just grind 2 tomatoes and add it to the pan. Add the red chili powder, cumin powder, pav bhaji masala and salt. You can also add home made garam masala also instead of pav bhaji masala.
Mix well and add the boiled veggies and the potato. Peel the skin of the potatoes after boiling.
Add 1/2 cup of water. Mash this using a potato masher.
Let this boil for 7 minutes in a low flame. Be careful and stay away. The gravy may slightly splutter. So keep in a low flame. Switch off the flame and add the coriander leaves and lemon juice.
Mix well and if you want add 1 tsp of butter and serve with toasted pav buns.
While toasting the buns you can add a pinch of pav bhaji masala in the butter and toaste the buns. This will enhance the taste.
