PAV BHAJI

Ever thought of something to eat that would be spicy, filling and easy to make??? Well, pav bhaji is the answer. This is something I always loved. Here is how to go about with this.

Ingredients:

Buns                          5-6
Tomatoes                  3 large
Onions                      1
Green chillies             5-6
Cashews                    paste
Capsicum                  1
Corriander  
Jeera
Red chilli powder         2tsp
Corriander powder      1tsp
Garam masala              2tsp
Butter
Oil
Salt

Method:

Flame: Medium
Time: 30 mins

1. Firstly,cut the tomatoes,chillies,corriander and grind them together.Keep it aside.
2. Now,take a frying pan, and add 2 tbsp of oil/butter in it.
3. Add jeera into the oil.
4. Add chopped onions in it.(cut it into 2 halves, use one half now).
5. Add chopped capsicum into it and fry.
6. Now, add the tomato puree into it.
7. Keep stirring the contents in the pan.(This removes the rawness in the tomatoes ).
8. Add the cashew paste into it.
9. Add garam masala, corriander powder and red chilli powder into the pan.
10. Add salt to taste.
11. Keep frying them until you see a thin layer of oil around the tomatoes.(Which means that there is nothing left to fry yet!! :) )
12. Transfer the contents into a bowl. Bhaji is ready!!
13. Now, for the pav, first smear butter on the white side of the bun.(Usually, a bun is sold cut in halves.)
14. Place the buns on a tava. Keep moving until the white part become golden brown.
15. Pav is ready for serving! :)

And ,"Yummy yummy pav bhaji ready! :)"

Note:

1. Cashew paste is optional, it gives a special taste to the gravy though. :)
2. Eat it with cut onions, while biting a green chilli and having lemon juice on the bhaji.
3. A little bit of food color does magic to your bhaji,again, its optional.(I figured out that's how they get such an attractive color, and no matter how many ever tomatoes u add u will never get it so red without being tangy.!!!

Happy Cooking!
