Pav Bhaji

Tried to make this as diet friendly as possible. I modified a recipe I found behind Shan Pav Bhaji masala. Shan typically has very tasty spice combinations.

Ingredients:
Potatoes: 4
Cauliflower: 1/2 a medium sized flower
Peas: 1 cup (used frozen)
Beans: 3/4 cup (used frozen)
Green bell pepper: 1, chopped into small pieces
Tomatoes: 2 (chopped finely)
Garlic: 8 cloves
Onions: 1, red, chopped finely
Cilantro: 1/2 cup, chopped
Pav bhaji masala: 4 tsp (adjust acc to individual taste)
I cant believe its not butter: a few tablespoons
Lime wedges: to garnish
Pav bread, can also use burger bread found in costco

Method:

• To a large microwave safe bowl, add potatoes quartered and half-fill with water. Cover with a plate and microwave 8 to 10 minutes till the potatoes are boiled.
• Remove potatoes, peel and chop roughly to small pieces.
• Cut cauliflower into large florets and microwave with a little water, covered, for 8 minutes. Microwave the garlic cloves along with the cauliflower.
• Once done, remove, reserve this water and roughly chop cauliflower into small pieces. Chop garlic also.
• To a large pot, add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the chopped onions. Saute till golden brown. Add the chopped bell peppers and chopped garlic. Saute for 5 minutes.
• Add chopped tomatoes. Cook till tomatoes are soft.
• Then add the remaining vegetables. Add the reserved water. Add salt and the pav bhaji masala. Add chili powder, if you like it spicy.
• Add about 3/4 cup water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add cilantro. Mix well.
• To make pav, spread both sides with a little I cant believe its not butter and fry on a tawa till light golden.
• Serve hot with above bhaji garnished with chopped onions and chopped green chilies (optional).
