Tawa Bhaji Pav is a popular Indian street food, especially loved in Mumbai. It’s a spiced vegetable mash (bhaji) served with buttered, toasted pav (bread rolls). Here’s how you can make this flavorful dish at home.

Ingredients:
For the Bhaji:
2-3 medium potatoes (boiled and mashed)
2 medium capsicum chopped (Green bell pepper)
3 medium red onion – finely chopped
6-7 tomato – finely chopped
5-6 boiled cauliflower florets
50 grams dry green peas.
3 tbsp pav bhaji masala as per your taste (store-bought or homemade)
2 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp kashmiri chili powder for color(optional)
Salt to taste
4 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking)
Fresh coriander leaves – chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Garlic chutney (check my video how to make garlic chutney)

For the Pav:
12 pav buns (or dinner rolls)
butter

Instructions:
1: Prepare the Bhaji
1. Heat Oil & Spices:
In a large pan or tawa, heat 4 tablespoons of butter or oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.

2. Cook Onions & Green Chilies:
Add the finely chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions turn soft and golden brown.add little water as Needed.

3. Add Tomatoes:
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and release oil.Add the garlic chutney and cook for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

4. Add Masalas:
Stir in red chili powder and pav bhaji masala. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the masalas release their aroma.

5. Mash the Veggies:
Add the boiled and mashed vegetables (potatoes, cauliflower and peas) to the pan. Use a masher to mash the mixture further, blending all the ingredients well. Add salt to taste.

6. Add Water & Simmer:
Add a little water (about 1/2 to 1 cup) to achieve a smooth, semi-thick consistency. Let the bhaji simmer for 5-7 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking.

7. Finish with Butter & Garnish:
Stir in a tablespoon of butter for richness and flavor. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Step 2: Prepare the Pav
Butter the Pav:
Slice the pav buns horizontally. Heat a tawa or griddle and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Place the pav on the tawa and toast them until golden brown and crisp on both sides.

Step 3: Serve
Serve the hot bhaji on a plate, garnished with chopped coriander, a dollop of butter on top, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve the toasted pav alongside the bhaji.

Note : For the garlic chutney, refer to my video on how to make it.

1. For extra flavor, you can add a bit of garlic chutney
