Pav bhaji is one of the most popular street food item in western India especially in Maharashtra. 'Pav' in Marathi is bread and 'bhaji' is actually the spicy curry made of different type of vegetables and garnished with chopped coriander and onion. Pav bhaji can actually be relished in road side stalls but considering the bad hygiene of those places, we usually don't let our kids consume that food. So my post is for those who want to make this delicacy for their kids at home.
Ingredients:
Chopped onion | 1 Large |
Chopped garlic | 6 to 8 cloves |
Potatoes, peeled and diced | 2 medium |
Chopped cauliflower | 1 cup |
Chopped green beans | ½cup |
Peas | ½cup |
Chopped carrots | ½cup |
Chopped Capsicum | ½ cup |
Green chilies chopped | 2 |
Tomatoes medium chopped | 3 |
Red chili powder | 1 tsp |
Turmeric powder | 2-Jan |
Salt (adjust to taste) | 2 |
Pav Bhaji masala | 1 |
Lemon juice (adjust to taste) | 1 tablespoon |
Fresh coriander | 2 tablespoon |
Bread buns | 6 |
Butter | 3 tablespoon |
Method:
1.Wash all the vegetables (carrot, cabbage, beans, cauliflower, potatoes and peas) and pressure cook the vegetables except Capsicum adding little salt up to 4 whistles. Drain water and keep aside.
2.In the frying pan, add some butter and oil and fry the onion, garlic and chopped green chili till it turns light brown in colour. Now add tomatoes, capsicum, salt and turmeric powder. Fry for 6 minutes.
Mash all the cooked vegetables and add to pan. Stir continuously so that it get mix properly. Add cumin and coriander powder; mix well with the onion, capsicum and tomatoes. Add half a glass of water if the masala is too thick.
3.After 5 minutes, add the pav bhaji masala and mix well and cover and let it cook for 3to 4 minutes.
4.Garnish with the coriander leaves and chopped onion and serve.
5.Heat a flat tawa and add Butter and then add pav pieces and toast it with butter.
Pav and Bhaji is ready to serve hot topped with butter ,chopped coriander leaves, onion and lemon.
