Directions
Pao Bhaji (Vegetables on Rolls), This makes a good picnic food May use pita bread instead of rolls The vegetable mix can easily be made in advance and refrigerated The special spice pao bhaji masala adds a unique taste , This is fabulous I got the pao bhaji mix online because there isnt an indian store anywhere near where I am currently staying The recipe is fabulous I love all of the flavors and vegetables and I definitely love anything with bread/rolls! hehe 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!!, I halved this recipe and made it for dinner tonight I am SO GLAD that I finally made this!! I was starving and I was so tired with my exam papers that I needed to take a break, and what better way than try a recipe from you:) I thought about this one and a pao-bhaji craving took on in the next few minutes, I was busy making this One thing that’s a must for this recipe is to grate the cauliflower and chop the carrots into very fine pieces As I was really starved, I didn’t care to really chop the carrots all that small, and the end result wasn’t very good, so I promised myself to take care of that next time In step 4, when adding the potatoes to the chana dal, I added a tsp of salt In future, I’ll add the juice of 1 lemon (in step 6) as well as half a cup of finely chopped fresh corriander leaves I also found that step 8 is not required I omitted the addition of oil in step 17(we usually add butter on the pao) because I’m really not all that crazy for it(as you know, I’m trying to pull down) I strongly suggest removing the whole red chilli before serving (step 11) because tonight when we were enjoying this, suddenly mom got this into her mouth and I had to say, Egg on my face LOL What I liked alot about this recipe is that it was very mildly spicy At my place, I’m so used to eating very spicy pao-bhaji, this was a well-deserved change;-) Another thing I enjoyed immensely was the coolness of a fresh sliced tomato and the heat of the bhaji! EXCELLENT COMBO! Mom has suggested to keep a few slit green chillies and few sliced onions in a bowl at the side of the serving bowl when this is served, so, if anyone wants, they can enjoy these on the side with the bhaji To cut short -Mom and me finished everything and this recipe is a sure keeper :)!
