Wow, Did’nt really think that I will end up putting my recipes but I have started enjoying the thought that a lot of my friends shall be able to use these recipes as these are really simple and tested over a period of time.So here goes
Pav Bhaji
Ingredients
- Potatoes – 6-8
- Tomatoes 10
- Onions 6-8
- Carrot 4-6
- Cauliflower – Half
- Peas – One Cup
- Butter 150 Gms
- Pav Bhaji Masala – Everest is the best, else MDH Masala
- Salt -2 tsp
- Green Chili – 4-6
- Ginger Garlic Paste 3 tsp
- Corriender
- Pav – 20- 30
- Oil 1 cup
Procedure
We need to boil the vegetables separately. First, we need to boil the potatoes. Once these are boiled, they need to be compeletely mashed with a fprk into a paste. Thereafter we need to boil the carrot and the cauliflower and mash them completely with a fork. Lastly, we need to boil the peas and keep them separately for use later. Please make a note to not throw the water used to boil the carrot and the cauliflower as well as the peas. This water needs to be used to keep diluting the bhaji.
Nest in one cup oil, we need to start roasting the onions and once these get pink/Red, we need to add the tomatoes and the ginger garlic paste as well as the salt. Once the mixture becomes a paste and the masala leaves the oil, we now need to add the mashed potatoes, and the mashed carrot and cauliflower paste. Thereafter, add 100 gms of butter and 6 TSP of everest Pav bhaji masala( Make a note that more masala can be added depending on the taste and the flavour required) and the green chillies chopped into 3-4 pieces each. Now keep stirring the bhaji on slow gas and keep adding the boiled water to dilute and keep cooking on slow fire for 1 hour till the paste becomes a uniform mix. Now add the corriender before serving along with a few chunks of butter.
For the Pav, cut them into two halves and heat them along with a bit of butter and serve hot
