Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower
• 2 large Potatoes
• 1 cup Green Peas
• 1 cup Carrots
• 1 medium Green Bell Pepper
• 3 large Tomatoes
• 1 large Onion
• 2 tablespoons Ginger Garlic Paste
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Pav Bhaji Masala
• 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 1 medium Lemon
• 6 slices Gluten-Free Burger Buns

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and green peas in a large pot of water until they are tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

Step 3

Add ginger garlic paste to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until the tomatoes become soft and mushy.

Step 5

Mix in pav bhaji masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir well to combine with the tomatoes and onions.

Step 6

Add the boiled vegetables to the pan and mash them using a potato masher or the back of a spoon to create a thick, chunky curry.

Step 7

If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach the desired consistency and continue mashing and mixing.

Step 8

Lower the heat and let the bhaji simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the bhaji and stir to melt into the mixture.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

Step 11

For the gluten-free buns or rolls, heat a skillet over medium heat and toast them lightly on both sides until warm and slightly crispy.

Step 12

Serve the gluten-free buns with the hot pav bhaji. Enjoy your meal!
