Instructions
- Preparing the potato masala Mash the boiled and peeled potatoes well and keep aside. Heat the oil and butter in a deep saucepan. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, green chillies and grated garlic.
- Sauté on medium high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes till the onions are soft and raw smell of the garlic is gone. Once the onions are translucent and soft, add the chopped tomatoes and a little bit of salt and fry until they are cooked slightly.
- Now, add the dry masala powders; pav bhaji masala powder, chili powder and hing; give it a good stir. Fry again on medium low heat till the mixture is well fried and you can see oil/butter separating on the sides.
- Stir in the mashed potatoes, chopped bell pepper and salt to taste; mix well. Add about ½ t o ¾ cup of water and mix again. Cook on medium high heat till the mixture is well incorporated and most of the moisture is gone.
- Do not make it too dry; you need a moist (not watery) potato masala mixure. Remove from flame, add coriander leaves and stir well.
- Assembling the masala pav Heat a griddle or tawa. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Add about 1 teaspoon of pav bhaji masala powder and a few coriander leaves.
- Once the butter has melted, slit the pav/dinner rolls and place it on the melted butter; fry both the halves for a few seconds till the pav buns are coated with the masala and butter!! Repeat with all the pav buns to be served.
- Once the pav buns are roasted, start layering the masala pav. Place the bottom half of the roasted pav on a serving plate. Place about 2 to 3 tablespoons of potato masala on the bottom half (depending upon how much each person prefers).
- Now, top with the peanuts, finely chopped onions and sev, close with the other half the pav and serve immediately!! Enjoy with a cup of chai or coffee or even a glass of juice!!!
Notes
- Serve the masala pav hot.
- Add spices like chili, Pav Bhaji masala powder and jalapenos according to your taste.
- If you do not have Pav Bhaji masala powder, substitute with garam masala powder or any curry powder instead.
