{"title":"Pav Bhaji Masala","description":"\u003cp\u003ePav bhaji is a Mumbai street dish of potatoes, cauliflower, peas, peppers and tomatoes cooked down and mashed on a large griddle with plenty of butter, then served with soft bread rolls called pav. Pav bhaji masala is the blend that gives it its flavour: chilli, coriander, cumin, fennel, amchoor, black salt and warm spices, tangy and slightly smoky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe masala is also used for tawa pulao, masala toast, Bombay sandwiches and spiced potato fillings. Blends vary a little in heat, so start with the amount on the pack and add more at the end. A small pack is enough for several family meals, since a couple of tablespoons flavours a large pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCook the vegetables until soft, mash them in the pan with butter and onions, then add the masala and more butter and cook until the mixture looks glossy.
