How to make Bhaji
Heat oil in a pan on a medium flame.
Add bell pepper and fry for few minutes.
Now add carrot and fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add peas and give it a nice stir. Cook for few minutes until soft.
Now add tomato, salt, ground masala, pav bhaji masala and butter. Mix and give it a nice stir.
Now cook the vegetables mashing in between until soft.
Once you see that the oil are getting separated, add mashed potato and mix everything well.
Mash everything well and cook for few more minutes and switch off the gas. Take out the masala in a plate and set aside.
How to give Tadka
Now heat the same pan or a different pan, add butter to it.
Add chopped onion, ginger-galic paste, kashmiri red chilli powder, pav bhaji masala and salt if needed.
Fry onion by adding little water in between so that the onion becomes soft and cooked well.
Once onion gets cooked well and became soft, add bhaji masala we have prepared and mash everything well.
Add water to the desired consistency and mash this mixture well.
Now cook bhaji uncovered for about 7-8 minutes.
How to fry Pav for Pav Bhaji
While the bhaji is simmering, you can fry pav so that you can serve the pav with hot bhaji, the way it is served in the restaurants.
Slice the pavs from center.
Heat a pan or tawa.
Keep the flame low, add butter to it.
When the butter starts melting add a bit pav bhaji masala and chopped coriander leaves and mix it well and spread on tawa properly.
Now place the pav on the butter.
Rotate the pav all over the melted butter.
Now turn over the pav and rotate them on tawa so that the second side absorbs the butter.
Add more butter if required and toast them well from both sides.
Follow the same process for the rest of the pavs.
How to serve Pav Bhaji
Take some bhaji in a serving plate.
Top it up with a cubes of butter.
Sprinkle some onion and also some lemon juice on top of the bhaji.
Now serve steaming hot bhaji along with the pan fried butterd pav.
