Pav bhaji

I am here with the recipe of India's most famous street food. I cook for my kids and needless to say this is my daughters favourite snack. Only the dishes relished by my kids make it to my blog :)
I served it with the fresh homemade pav buns, the recipe of which I will be blogging soon.

Potatoes -2
Carrots-2
French beans-6 to 7
Cauliflower florets-1 cup
Green peas-1/2 cup
Onions-2 medium sized, finely chopped
Tomatoes- 2 medium sized, finely chopped
Capsicum-1 finely chopped
Green chillies-3
Ginger-1/2", crushed

Pav bhaji masala -2 tbsp , I used Everest brand

  • Boil green peas separately
  • Take oil and butter in a wok, add onions and slit chillies and sauté till onions turn translucent. Add ginger and garlic sauté till raw smell disappears. Add capsicum and sauté for a minute
