A popular Indian street food, this flavorful and spicy mashed vegetable curry is served with buttered, toasted bread rolls. It's a delightful and comforting meal.

Steps

Wash and chop the potatoes and cauliflower into small pieces. Boil them along with the green peas in salted water until very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Finely chop the onion, green bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Heat the vegetable oil and 20g of butter in a large pan or griddle over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, then add the garlic, ginger, and green bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Dice the tomatoes and add them to the pan. Stir in the Pav Bhaji Masala and the remaining salt. Cook, mashing occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture forms a thick paste, about 10-12 minutes.

Add the boiled potatoes, cauliflower, and green peas to the pan. Using a potato masher, thoroughly mash all the vegetables together with the spice mixture. Add a splash of water if needed to reach desired consistency. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Slice the pav (dinner rolls) horizontally. Heat the remaining butter in a separate pan or on the same griddle. Toast the cut sides of the pavs until golden brown and crispy.

Finely chop the fresh coriander. Garnish the hot bhaji with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and chopped coriander. Serve immediately with the buttered pavs and a lemon wedge on the side.
