My Improv & Notes
- Some people add green beans and some even add Cauliflower to the recipe and skip Potatoes – leave it to your taste
- Game changing steps that I’d ask you to follow is the addition of Butter for cooking in the beginning, Mashing the veggies once cooked, and addition of right amount of Pav Bhaji Masala
- Chili garlic paste is another game changer – it’ll add to the color and flavor – here’s the recipe for your reference incase you plan to make it at home!
