Instructions

1. 1

   Pressure cook potatoes, cauliflower and peas until very soft. Mash coarsely and set aside.

2. 2

   Melt 2 tbsp butter, sauté chopped onions until golden, then add garlic, ginger and bell pepper. Cook 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down into a thick sauce, about 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in pav bhaji masala and salt. Cook 2 minutes until aromatic.

5. 5

   Add the mashed vegetables and 1/2 cup water. Simmer 10 minutes, mashing and stirring — the bhaji should be glossy and thick.

6. 6

   Finish with remaining butter and cilantro. For the pav: slice, toast on a tawa with butter until crisp outside, soft inside. Serve with raw onion and lemon.
