Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Sauté Onions and Cumin

   Melt a generous amount of Amul butter on a large tawa (griddle). Add finely chopped onions and cumin seeds. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

2. 2.Add Tomatoes and Mashed Potatoes

   Add finely chopped tomatoes to the tawa and cook until they soften. Then, add a large amount of mashed potatoes to the mixture.

3. 3.Incorporate Spices and Green Peas

   Sprinkle in coriander powder, cumin powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, garlic chutney, and green chili chutney. Add a large amount of green peas. Mix all ingredients thoroughly on the tawa.

4. 4.Mash and Cook the Bhaji

   Using a solid masher or multiple spatulas, vigorously mash and mix the ingredients on the tawa. Add water as needed to achieve a saucy, thick texture. Continue cooking and mashing for approximately 20-25 minutes until all vegetables are well combined and the bhaji is cooked through.

5. 5.Prepare the Pav

   Melt a generous amount of Amul butter on a separate section of the tawa. Take the pav (bread rolls), split them, and dip them in the melted butter. Toast the pav on the tawa until golden brown and soft.

6. 6.Serve Pav Bhaji

   Once the pav bhaji is cooked, serve a portion on a plate. Top with a thick slice of Amul butter. For the cheesy variation, add a generous amount of grated cheese on top. Serve immediately with toasted pav, fresh chopped raw onions, and lime wedges. Papadam can also be served on the side.
