The last time I made Pav bhaji was using the Pav Bhaji masala powder which is readily available. When I told my mom, she said, that’s not how I make it…we use our own masala. I was wondering why I hadn’t learned this one dish from mom yet. So this is mom’s version of the Bhaji in Pav Bhaji.
1 lb Potatoes (about ½ kg)
1 cup Green Peas (fresh/frozen)
2-3 Green Bell peppers finely chopped
2 Onions finely chopped
6-8 Green Chillies
4-5 pods of Garlic
½ stick Butter
½ Cup fresh Corriander, chopped
1 tsp Cumin Powder
2 tsp Corriander Powder
1 tsp Red chilli powder
¼ tsp Amchur (Dried Mango) powder
¼ tsp Chaat Masala
A pinch Garam Masala powder
Salt to taste
Juice from 1 Lemon
Boil the potatoes, peel and grate. Set aside. Boil fresh/frozen peas, drain.
I’m glad mom told me how to make this, I know I am not going to miss the instant Pav Bhaji masala anymore!
