Special Pav Bhaji

This recipe of Pav Bhaji is termed special bcause it is cooked withoutnonions and garlic. Usually on occassions like, Fasting during festivals, you cannot use garlic & onion.

6) Mirchi powder (2 tspn)
7) Hing (quarter tspn)
8) Salt (to taste)
9) Coriander leaves (for garnish)


Procedure:
1) Heat oil in a pan and add hing to it,
2) Next, add chopped tomatoes and cook it for a while. Later, add tomato puree.
3) Then add Mirchi powder, coriander powder, Pav Bhaji masala.
4) Peel the bananas,mash them and the boiled peas also and put them into the mixture.
5) Add salt, little water and boil for a while.
