How to Make Jain Pav Bhaji :

Making the Jain Pav Bhaji Masala

  • Roast all the whole spices on a tawa or pan on low flame.
  • Keep stirring constantly so as not to burn the spices. When the spices attain a light brown hue and masala smell begins to emanate. Switch off the flame and transfer the spices to bowl and let it cool down.
  • Once the spices are mildly cool, put them in a spice grinder and make a fine powder of them.
  • Your jain pav bhaji masala is ready. Use some now and put the remaining in an airtight container for later use.

Prepping

  1. Wash the cauliflower, cabbage and green peas. Transfer to a pressure cooker.
  2. Wash and peel the raw banana and cube it. Add to the cooker along with 1/2 cup water, a pinch of turmeric and salt. Cook on medium flame for 2-3 whistles.
  3. Keep aside till steam escapes. Use a hand blender / traditional potato masher to mash up the boiled veggies into a coarse paste. Do not make it a fine paste it will not taste good.
  4. Chop the capsicum and tomatoes finely.

Cooking :

  1. Heat 3 tsp oil and a bit of butter in a pan. When sufficiently hot, add the cumin seeds.
  2. Once the seeds stop spluttering, add chopped capsicum. Fry for 1 minute before adding the tomatoes. Cover with a lid for 1 min. Remove lid and crush the softened tomatoes with a spatula.
  3. Add all the powdered masalas along with a little salt. Fry for 1-2 mins before adding the mashed veggies.
  4. Cook for 8-10 min to blend all the flavors. Adjust salt if required and add a few teaspoons of hot water if it is getting too dry. Sprinkle coriander leaves and remove from flame.

To Serve:

  1. Heat 1-2 tsp butter in a separate pan. Fry the pav to a light golden.
  2. Garnish the bhaji with a dollop of butter, more coriander leaves and lemon wedges. Serve hot with the pav.
