Maharashtrian Pav Bhaji

This recipe contains no onion or garlic so is perfect for the strictest of vegetarians. Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

1 large red capsicum
1 small cauliflower
3-4 medium potatoes
2 tomatoes
1 tsp ginger paste
2 tsp cummin seeds
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
2 tbsp 'pav bhaji masala'
salt to taste
oil
coriander for garnish

1. Boil cauliflower and potatoes until a mashable consistency. In a pressure cooker, approx 4 whistles.
2. Heat 2 tables spoons of oil in a wok. Add cummin seeds and capsicum diced into 1cm square pieces.
3. After sauteing for a few minutes, add ginger paste, followed by chilli powder, garam masala and pav bhaji masala, and let saute further.
4. Add diced tomotoes and cauliflower and mash.
5. Add diced potato and mash until 80% of the potato is mashed finely.
6. Add salt and let simmer for 5-10 minutes.
7. Garnish with coriander.(Adding a little butter at the end also tastes great!)

Notes:
-- This 'bhaji' is eaten with 'pav' ie, bread. I use small hamburger rolls. Spread these with butter and heat in fry pan.
-- If you eat onion, add finely diced onion as a garnish.
