Instructions
- Rinse all the vegetables well. Pressure cook Cauliflower, potatoes and green peas with 2 cup water for 2-3 whistle. Let the pressure settle down on its own and let the vegetables cool down. You can use carrot, beans, capsicum or any vegetable of your choice. Sometimes I use bottle gourd or lauki too. A great way to feed healthy vegetables which your family members don’t like.
- Grind ginger, garlic, tomato and green chilli. Make a smooth paste.
- Take out the vegetables from the pressure cooker. Mash the boiled vegetables. Reserve the water we will use it later.
- Heat oil and butter in a pan or wok. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onion and fry till onion becomes light brown.
- Add ground paste. Also add salt, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder and paw bhaji masala. Saute till oil leaves the sides
- Add boiled and mashed vegetables. Mix well. Add the reserved water from boiled vegetables. Mix well.
- Add 1 cup more water and mix well. When it starts to rolling boil reduce the heat. Cook on simmer for 5-6 minutes.
- Now switch off the stove. Taste and adjust salt if required. You can add little more paw bhaji masala if you want. Add lemon juice and mix well. Garnish with chopped cilantro or coriander leaves. Add a dollop of butter.
- For PawHeat butter in a pan or skillet. Add little paw bhaji masala. Spread paw bhaji masala with a spatula on all over the pan.
- Slit the paw horizontally with a knife. Place the paw on the pan cut side down. Rotate the paw so that it can absorb the butter. Press gently to toast.
- Flip and toast the other side too. Serve toasted paw and hot bhaji with finely chopped onion, lemon wedges and butter.
