Pav Bhaji

This is a popular West Indian snack. It has been my long time favorite dish.

Ingredients

2 large potataoes (boiled and mashed)
1 cauliflower
1/4 cup peas
1/4 bottlegourd
1 capsicum
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 onions
2 tomatoes (pureed)
2 tsps ginger-garlic paste
4 green chilles
MDH Paav Bhaaji Masala
Salt
Red chilli powder
Butter 100 gms

Procedure
1) Pressure cook cauliflower, peas, bottlegourd and capsicum for 10 minutes.
2) Heat oil in a large thick bottomed pan. Put cumin seeds and add onions. Stir till the onions turn golden brown in colour. Add ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chillies, stir for 30 seconds.
3) Add tomatoes and roast till the oil separates.
4) Add to this mashed potatoes, boiled vegetables, Paav Bhaaji Masala, salt and water. Simmer it for 1/2 an hour while mashing the whole mixture. Add water from time to time to prevent it from becoming too thick.
5) Add butter and garnish with finely chopped onions and coriander.

Serve hot with toasted bread or bun.
