PAV BHAJI (BUNS with SPICY MIXED VEGETABLES)


'Pav bhaji' is one of the most popular dishes of Bombay(India). 'Bhaji' means a mix vegetable potato based curry and 'pav' means a kind of bread. It is a vegetarian dish yet it is very popular in western India. There, it is easily available in local food stalls and on hand pulled carts. Due to high potato and butter/ghee content, it is rich in carbohydrate and fat. Inspite of being high in calories and fat, there is no denying that it is irresistible. Even if you are diet conscious you should try this once.

Serves - 4

Cooking time - 40 - 45 min

INGREDIENTS:
  1. Buns(pav)-8
  2. ½ onion (chopped)
  3. 2 green chilies (chopped)
  4. 1 tbsp spoon garlic-ginger paste
  5. 2 tbsp spoon olive oil
  6. 1 tsp of mustard seeds
  7. 4 tbsp butter
  8. 1 tsp turmeric
  9. 1 tsp garam masala
  10. 1 tbsp coriander powder
  11. 2 spoon lime juice
  12. salt to taste
  13. ¼ cup chopped cauliflower
  14. ¼ cup chopped capsicum
  15. ¼ cup chopped carrot
  16. ¼ cup green peas
  17. ¼ cup green bean
  18. ¼ cup cabbage
  19. ½ bunch coriander/cilantro leaves (chopped)
  20. 1 chopped tomato
  21. 3 medium size potatoes boiled and peeled
  22. onion rings

METHOD:

  1. First we are going to make 'bhaji' for this dish. Steam all the vegetables (chopped cauliflower, capsicum, carrot, green peas, green beans, cabbage) for 7-8 minutes or until they become very tender.


  2. Heat a heavy bottomed vessel with oil. Add mustard seeds and chopped chilies. When they crackle, add chopped onion & salt and saute it for 2-3 min or until onions turn to transparent.


  3. Add chopped tomato or pureed tomato and all spices (ginger garlic paste, turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala). Fry them for another 5-6 min on medium low heat or until oil starts to separate from the mixture. Meanwhile, mash the boiled and peeled potatoes along with all steamed vegetables in a bowl.


  4. Add the potato and vegetables mixture to the pan and cook on medium low heat for another 7-8 min. Keep stirring the mixture and add little bit of water if it starts sticking at the bottom. Add 1 cup water and cook on high heat for another 5 min or until it gets cooked properly and the gravy looks consistent.
  5. Remove pan from heat. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves on 'bhaji' and add 2 tbsp butter to it. Hot and spicy bhaji is ready.
  6. Again, heat a pan for roasting buns. Grease it with butter or oil and fry/roast the buns each side.


  7. Serve these buns with bhaji and onion rings. You can add more butter to 'bhaji' while serving it.
