  • 1.5 inches Ginger root
  • 8-10 Cloves of Garlic
  • 3-4 Green Chilies
  • ¼th Cup Fresh Coriander Leaves-finely chopped
  • ¼th-tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1-tbsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
  • 1½-tbsp Pav Bhaji Masala
  • Salt
  • 2 Cubes of Butter
  • 1 Cube of Cheese
  • Cooking Oil
Instructions
  1. For making Masala Pav, I am using a large heavy bottomed Iron Tawa. You can even use a non-stick pan for making Masala. Add 2-tbsp Cooking Oil on this Tawa.
  2. As Oil becomes hot, add 1-tbsp butter. Allow it to melt. Add finely chopped Onions. Fry Onions on medium heat until it becomes soft. Cook Onions for 4-5 mins.
  3. Now, add Ginger-Garlic-Green Chili Paste. We have made this paste with 1-tbsp water. Cook until we get rid of the raw flavour of Ginger-Garlic.
  4. After cooking for 2 mins, add Turmeric Powder. Add finely chopped Capsicum and 1-2 tbsp water. Cook until it becomes soft.
  5. Capsicum becomes soft in 3 mins on medium heat. Now, add finely chopped Tomatoes. Add some Salt to hasten the softening process.
  6. Tomatoes become softer in 10 mins. Now, add Red Chili Powder, Pav Bhaji Masala Powder, chopped Coriander, 1-tbsp butter and some Salt. Bhunao/Cook the Masala. Add 1-2 tbsp water during the Bhunao process.
  7. Cook Masala for 8-10 mins. Now, we will add mashed Potatoes. Addition of Potatoes is an optional step. Mashed Potatoes impart a body and creaminess to the Masala paste. Mix well.
  8. Now, add grated Cheese for more yumminess and some more creaminess. Add ¼th Cup Water to the Masala and mix well.
  9. Masala is not too thin and not too thick. This is the right consistency for the Masala. Bring masala to the side of the tawa. Garnish with coriander leaves.
  10. Add some butter in the centre of Tawa. Put some Masala. Roast the Pav on this Tawa. Smear this Pav with butter and cooked veggie/masala
  11. Masala Pav is ready to be served. Remove from Pan. Similarly, make remaining Masala Pav.
