  • Add finely chopped tomatoes, capsicum, cauliflower, green peas, and stir and saute for 3 to 4 minutes on medium flame.

  • Then add red chili powder and pav bhaji masala. Add salt as per taste and stir well.

  • Put water and let the mixture simmer as it turns thicker on medium flame, then mash well using a vegetable masher.

  • Bring the masala to one side of the Tawa or pan. Slice the buns horizontally, melt some Amrutam Desi cow ghee on the empty space in the Tawa. Place the pav slices on it. Toast them lightly from both sides. Now spread the masala on the pav evenly.

  • Serve this sumptuous dish hot, add some lemon juice on it and garnish with the coriander leaves.

Notes:

  • The consistency of the masala is important as thin and liquid type masala can make bun soggy.
