Pav Bhaji

By Uma Abhyankar May 10, 2015

Pav bhaji is a famous street food of Maharashtra. It is usually spicy in taste. But at home you can make it as per your liking. I think this is the best mouth watering recipe to use up any left over vegetables.

Ingredients

  • Butter or Oil - 3 tbsp and more as needed
  • Cauliflower - 1 cup florets
  • Green Peas - 1 cup
  • Capsicums (green peppers) - 1 cup cut into big cubes
  • Potatoes - 5
  • Any other vegetables of choice
  • Onion - 2 (1 for the bhaji and 1 finely chopped for garnishing)
  • Garlic - 5 big cloves
  • Ginger - 2
  • Tomato - 1 big
  • Pav bhaji masala - 4 tsp
  • Buns of bread (Pavs) - As needed
  • Lime / lemon - 1 cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Cut cauliflower into big florets. Cut capsicum/ green pepper into big cubes. Peel and cut 5 potatoes into big cubes.IMG_0785
  2. Transfer the cauliflower, potatoes, and the capsicum to a pot. Add 1 cup green peas and any other vegetable of choice like string beans or cabbage and cook in a pressure cooker for 1 whistle. Reduce the heat for 5 minutes and then turn off the gas. Take out all the vegetables after the pressure cooker pressure is released and mash them all with a masher. Keep aside.IMG_0793IMG_0794
  3. In a grinder, grind 2" big ginger piece, 5 big garlic cloves, 1 small onion and 1 tomato, into a fine paste for the gravy.IMG_0786
  4. Heat 2 & 1/2 tbsp butter or oil in a pan and add the gravy to it. Add 3 tsp pav bhaji masala to it. Stir fry till the gravy turns brownish.IMG_0788 IMG_0789 IMG_0790
  5. Add all the cooked and mashed vegetables and mix well. Add about 1 cup water, salt to taste, and let it come to boil on a low flame, turning intermittently. Then turn off the gas. The bhaji is ready to serve.

For pavs : Cut each pav horizontally in two. To each half apply some butter and heat on a griddle till it turns brownish. Flip on the other side and let heat for a minute. Repeat with all the pavs.

To serve : Place 2 hot pavs in a plate. On one side add hot bhaji. Garnish the bhaji with little onion finely chopped, some finely chopped coriander, some red chili powder to taste, and some butter. Keep a piece of lime/lemon on the side.
