Method to Make Pav Bhaji:
Heat oil in a pan. Add onions, ginger garlic paste and green chillies and sauté till raw smell goes off and onions turn light brown.
Stir in the, tomatoes and cook until mushy. Now add pav bhaji masala,red chilli powder and mix well. Add boiled vegetables and mix.
Cook for 4-5 minutes covered.
Now mash the vegetables , now add cooked and mashed potatoes and mix well. Mash it well. so that they get little pulpy and add water as required (approx. 2 cups).
Meanwhile Toast the Pav with little butter and keep aside.
Cook for 5-10 minutes on low flame.
Swith off the flame and add in 1 tsp butter and coriander leaves and mix well.

Aps Notes:
Firstly adjust spice level accordingly.
You can even add green beans and carrot but I personally do not add them in my pav bhaji recipe.
Some tell adding a tbsp of grated beetroot enhances the colour of the pav bhaii but I haven’t done so.
I added only a tsp of butter for known reasons but adding more butter makes the pav bhaji yummier. So feel free to add 3 tsp more.
Toasting the Pav- when I make my Pav I like to toast it a little more you can slightly toast it like its done in restuarants.
Enjoy Making,
Happy Cooking!
