Pav Bhaji is a popular Indian fast food and as the name suggests,soft buns(Pav) is served with a Bhaji(Vegetables cooked in a tomato base).I have tried with different combination of vegetables and this is my friend's recipe which is tasty and easy to make too.

Bhaji preparation

Pav Bhaji

  • Pressure cook Potato and the vegetables.
  • Mash them roughly and keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan,add onions and fry for a minute.Add ginger-garlic paste and fry well till the raw smell goes off and the onions turn translucent.
  • Add finely chopped tomatoes and fry well till they turn mushy.
  • Add Pav bhaji masala,salt and fry well.
  • Add the boiled and mashed vegetables and add water to get desired bhaji consistency.
  • Simmer for 10 mins in low flame till the vegetables blend well with the masala mixture.
  • Finally add butter and garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
To Serve:
  • Cut each pav bun horizontally into two.
  • Heat a tawa,add some butter and toast the buns.
  • Serve the buns with bhaji and finely chopped onion and lemon slice.
Note:
  • You can add a tblsp of tomato paste(store bought) while sauting the tomatoes to get a rich red colour.(I din't add this time)
  • The bhaji consistency can be a little thinner than shown in the picture.Adjust water accordingly.I have also not mashed the vegetables completely,but you can mash it completely as per your preference.
  • The star ingredient is Pav bhaji masala and I  have used store bought masala.If you want a spicier version,add some red chilli powder while adding pav bhaji masala.
