  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional)
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

For Pav:

  • 8 Pav buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • A pinch of red chili powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Vegetables

  1. Boil the potatoes, cauliflower, carrot, and green peas until they are soft. Mash them together to create a smooth mixture and set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan and add Sresth ORA Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil. Once the oil is warm, add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
  3. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 2: Spicing it Up

  1. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and Pav Bhaji masala to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
  2. Add the mashed vegetables and mix thoroughly. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Adjust the consistency by adding water if the mixture becomes too thick. Add salt to taste and let the bhaji simmer for a few more minutes.
  4. Finish with a dollop of butter and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Step 3: Toasting the Pav

  1. Heat a flat pan or griddle and add butter to it.
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of red chili powder over the butter.
  3. Place the Pav buns on the pan and toast them until they are golden and crisp on both sides.

Step 4: Serving

Serve the hot and flavorful bhaji with buttered Pav buns, lemon wedges, and a side of chopped onions for an authentic street-food experience.
