Paneer Pav Bhaji

Hi Friends,
Pav bhaji is fast food originated from Mumbai.....Its a famous street food of most of the famous cities. Very easy to make and because it contains lots of veggies in it so it is healthy too.

I make pav bhaji very often but this time I added crumbled paneer (cottage cheese) in the veggies. Guess what ??? Adding paneer in the dish makes a lot of difference, so friends do try it and see the difference........

Ingredients:

• 3 boiled potatoes
• 1 cup of crumbled paneer (cottage cheese)
• 1 cup peas
• 1 cup cauliflower (chopped)
• 1 cup cabbage (chopped)
• 1 cup carrot (chopped)
• 4 big tomatoes (chopped finely)
• 3 big onions (chopped finely)
• 1 small capsicum (chopped finely)
• 3 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp Pav Bhaji masala
• 1/2 tsp red chilly powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• Garnish: chopped coriander

• Mash boiled potatoes and paneer (cottage cheese ), keep it aside. 
• Roast capsicum on gas burner with the help of fork. Once its done from all the sides. Remove the seeds and chop it in small cubes.

• Pressure cook all the chopped veggies (cauliflower, cabbage, carrot and peas).
• Heat oil in a kadai, add ginger-garlic paste. Add onion and saute till they become golden brown.
• Add chopped tomatoes and capsicum, mix well and cook till oil separates.
• Add all the dry masalas.
• Bhuno well.
• Put all veggies, potatoes and crumbled paneer. Keep mashing in between with the help of masher.

• Mash well all the veggies and keep sprinkling water occasionally. Keep the bhaji to simmer on low flame for few minutes.
• Add butter and chopped coriander. Remove from fire.

To Serve:

Heat griddle or tava. Cut Buns (Pav) into halves, apply butter on both the sides of pav. Place them on tava and cook till they are well toasted from both the sides.

Serve hot pav with bhaji along with lemon wedges and chopped onions. Enjoy.
