13. 2 tbsp Ginger garlic paste

Method:-

1. Pressure cook potatoes, capsicum, green peas and cauliflower. Mash them separately to get a uniform texture.
    Keep aside in separate bowls.

2. In a heavy bottom pan ( preferably non stick with a lid ) heat 2 -3 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp butter. When hot add hing
    and then add ginger garlic paste. Saute for a few seconds ( do not let it get brown ) and then add 2 finely
    chopped onions.

3. Add a spoon of salt and on medium heat saute the onions till translucent. Then add finely chopped tomatoes.
    Saute for 2-3 minutes and then place the lid and let it slow cook for another 2-3 minutes on low flame. Now
    saute for another 2-3 minutes and add chopped capsicum.

4. Saute for a few minutes till the capsicum cooks and blends well with the onion and tomatoes.

5. You need to place the lid and let it cook for a few more minutes and mash it to make sure they blend
     well with each other.

6. Add red chili powder and 1 tbsp of pav bhaji masala. Mix well.

7. You may now add the boiled and mashed veggies( cauliflower, green peas, capsicum) one by one and keep
    mixing.

8. Saute for 2-3 minutes after adding all the veggies and cover the pan with the lid and let everything cook
    together for a few more minutes.

9.  Add the mashed potatoes. Make sure they are mashed evenly ( should not have big chunks )

10. Mix everything well. Add some water, butter, salt to taste, some more red chili powder ( as per your
      requirement), pav bhaji masala and mix well.

11. Let it cook for a few minutes ( covered ).

12. Add some butter and mix well. Your pav bhaji will now be ready in a few more minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
      Serve hot with masala pav / butter pav and butter :)

Tip: 1. Be patient and let onions, tomatoes and green peppers cook well.
       2. Make sure you mash the veggies well so that everything blends well with each other.
       3. Use Kashmiri lal or Deggi mirch  powder to get the nice natural red color for your Pav Bhaji. 

Enjoy!!!!
