Pav Bhaji

When we talk about street food, Pav Bhaji is one of the option that comes to our mind. One of the hottest selling street food.  It's not just a snack but a filling meal. An ultimate blend of Spices with vegetables. To keep it simple we have plenty of readymade brands for Pav Bhaji masala , my personal favorite is Everest Pav Bhaji masala, it gives the perfect taste and color to the bhaji. A quick and easy recipe.


Ingredients

(serves 3-4)

2 boiled and grated Potatoes 
1 cup boiled and mashed vegetables ( carrots, cauliflower)
1 big sized onion Finely chopped
4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 Big Tomato finely chopped
2 green chili finely chopped
2 Tbsp Cilantro/coriander finely chopped
2 Tbsp Everest Pav Bhaji Masala
1 Tbsp Oil
Salt to taste
1 Tbsp Butter
1/2 cup water


For garnishing

1 Finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped green chili
finely chopped Cilantro
Butter 1/2 cube
Lemon wedges

Procedure


Take oil in an iron wok, fry the onions till light brown, add garlic, fry a bit then add pav bhaji masala and fry again. Add Tomatoes and fry till oil separates. Add the boiled and mashed vegetables, salt , green chilies. Add about 1/2 a cup water and stir, now add butter and simmer it for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally. If it's getting thicker add more water. But simmering is important, the flavor of spices and butter blends nicely with the vegetables. Take in a serving bowl garnish it and serve hot with Pav.

I grill the Pav, top it with butter and sprinkle either Pav bhaji masala or Kashmiri Mirch powder on it. It looks more presentable and tastes even better.
