Paav Bhaaji






Ingredients:
chopped Red/Green Bell Peppers - 1 cups
chopped Potatoes - 1 cup
Chopped green beans - 1 cup
Chopped carrots - 1/2 Cup
Chopped Onions - 1 cup
chopped Tomatoes - 1 Cup
Whole wheat burger breads - 4 to 6
Butter spread(butter flavoured light margarine) - 3 Tbsps
Olive oil - 1 tbsp
Corriander leaves - 1 cup
Salt & chilli powder
Garam masala or pav bhaji masala - 1 tsp
Method:
  • Heat the oil in a pan and add all the vegs and cook until they are very soft and mushy...mash them until no veg piece has its shape.
  • Add the salt, chilli powder and masala and cook for 4-5 mins with enough water in the pan, so that the mashed vegs dont get thick and burn.
  • Once its cooked and becomes a nice gravy, add a Tbsp of butter spread and corriander leaves and mix them into the gravy.
  • Now separate the breads and apply little butter and toast it on a hot pan. (Or) just use a bread toaster to toast them.
  • Serve the breads immediately with the gravy topped with another dollop of butter and chopped onion, corriander & a lemon wedge besides.

Goodness in this dish:

  • Good amounts of colourful vegetables.
  • Whole wheat bread instead of the white buns
  • Light margarine with "Zero Cholestrol and saturated fat" and has some good fats like "polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats", which would improve your good cholestrol. Please read the nutrition facts while purchasing this. The brand i liked was Fleishmann's .
