Prepare the vegetables: Chop the onions, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Boil or steam the mixed vegetables until tender.
Sauté the aromatics: Heat oil in a large pan or skillet. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Cook the tomatoes and spices: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and Pav Bhaji masala. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the spices are well combined.
Mash the vegetables: Add the boiled/steamed mixed vegetables to the pan. Mash the vegetables using a potato masher or a large spoon until they are partially mashed but still have some texture.
Simmer the bhaji: Add water to adjust the consistency. Bring the bhaji to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add salt to taste and lemon juice.
Toast the pav: While the bhaji is simmering, heat butter on a griddle or pan. Slice the pav horizontally and toast them in the butter until golden brown on both sides.
Serve: Garnish the bhaji with fresh cilantro and a dollop of butter. Serve hot with the toasted pav. Enjoy!
