Method
7 steps- 1Soak the soya chunks in hot water 10 minutes. Squeeze dry and pulse in a mixer to a coarse mince.
- 2Pressure cook the potato, cauliflower and peas with 200 ml water for 3 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally, then mash.
- 3Melt 3 tbsp butter in a wide pan on medium heat. Cook 150 g onion 6 minutes, add the ginger garlic paste and capsicum and cook 3 minutes.
- 4Add the tomato, most of the pav bhaji masala and the chilli powder. Cook 6 minutes on medium heat, mashing well. Stir in the ketchup and soya mince and cook 5 minutes.
- 5Add the mashed vegetables, salt and 150 ml water. Simmer at a gentle simmer 10 minutes, mashing, until thick enough to hold on a spoon. Finish with lemon juice.
- 6Melt the last of the butter in a pan on medium heat with a pinch of masala. Toast the buns cut side down 1 minute.
- 7Pile the bhaji into the buns. Top with cheddar, the remaining raw onion and coriander.
Serve it like this
Serve open faced on a steel plate, bhaji spilling over the bun, with a lemon wedge, a mound of chopped onion and a cube of butter melting on top.
