Are you tired of bland and tasteless pav bhaji masala? Follow these simple steps to make the perfect blend of spices for your favorite dish.
Start by roasting whole spices like cumin, coriander, fennel, and cloves in a pan until fragrant. This will enhance their flavors.
Next, add dried red chilies, cinnamon, and black peppercorns to the pan and continue roasting for a few more minutes.
Once the spices are roasted, let them cool down and then grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
In a separate pan, heat oil and add chopped onions, ginger, and garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
Now, add chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn mushy. This will give a rich and tangy flavor to the masala.
Add the ground spice powder to the pan and mix well. Let it cook for a few minutes to release the flavors of the spices.
To balance the flavors, add a pinch of sugar and salt according to your taste. You can also add a dash of lemon juice for a tangy kick.
Finally, add boiled and mashed vegetables like potatoes, peas, and capsicum to the masala and mix well. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
Your perfectly spiced pav bhaji masala is now ready to be served with hot buttered pav buns. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
