Delicious Microwave Bhaaji for paav

One of the best street foods that is an all-time favourite is the pav baaji. The magic of Bombay's famous street food was microwave cooked in my kitchen and I'm sharing it with you.

1 green bell pepper chopped

1/4 cup green peas

50 grams french beans chopped

50 grams cabbage chopped

2 potatoes peeled and chopped

1/4 cup grated onion

1/4 cup pureed tomato ( I cooked tomatoes in microwave and pureed them)

2 teaspoons pav baaji masala powder

1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder

Salt to taste

!/2 teaspoon red chilli powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

To Serve:

4 pav buns

Lemon quarters

Fresh coriander leaves.

Wash the chopped vegetables.Place them in a microwave safe bowl, sprinkle some water.

Cook covered on 100% micropower, for 8 minutes until all vegetables are soft and mashable.

Allow to stand for 4 more minutes. Open and with a masher, mash the vegetables well.

In a different bowl, heat oil/ghee on 100% power for 30 seconds. Add the grated onion and cook open on 100% power for 3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, mix well and microwave on 100% power for further 3 minutes.

Add all spices and salt and the mashed vegetables to the above and cover. Cook on 60% power for 5 minutes. Stand for 2 minutes.

Take it out and mix well. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

When ready to serve, toast the buns adding butter and serve with the baaji.

Serving suggestions are that serve them with onion rings and quartered lemons.
