Steps

1hr

1

In a pressure cooker put carrot, bean and tomato. Add 500ml water and little salt. Pressure cook the veggies for 1 or 2 whistles.
Let it cool, strain the vegetables. Do not throw the stock.
2

Now in a kadhai heat 2tbspn oil and 1tbspn butter. Keep the flame low and add all the spices. Pav bhaji masala, kashmiri red chilli powder, dhaniya powder. Mix well.
3

Now add chopped onions and saute until softened. Now add chopped ginger, garlic. Saute again for a minute or two and then add slightly mashed potatoes. Mix well!
4

Add the boiled veggies. Mix well! Add half chopped capsicum, and salt to taste. Saute for 2 to 3mins till capsicum softens.
5

Now with the help of a masher, mash all the vegetables.(you can choose to mash it completely or leave it half mashed, here I have kept it a bit coarse. We like the bite of the vegetables in our pav bhaji.)
Add water and let it simmer for sometime.
6

Add more butter, crushed kasuri methi and finely chopped spring onion greens. Mix well!
7

Now take one or two cheese slices and place it at the centre. Cover the lid and let the bhaji simmer for a minute in low flame. Open the lid and mix the cheese with the bhaji. Our bhaji fondu is ready!!
8

Pav Sticks~
Take pav and cut it in four halves.Heat oil and butter on a grill pan. Slighty toast the pavs. Put them on skewers.
9

Now put bhaji on a fondue bowl or on any ceramic bowl. Decorate it with cheese.
10

Now heat a piece of coal. Place the bhaji and pav sticks on a low rack grill. Pour butter or ghee on the burning hot coal and place the rack on top.
11

Quickly cover it with a cloche or a big vessel to trap and infuse the smoky flavour.
Serve hot!
