Boil the veggies first and keep them ready. I used my pressure cooker to boil them until they were soft and tender.
2

Now make a puree of tomatoes, onion, green chillies and ginger garlic paste in a mixer grinder.
3

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot on medium heat. Once the butter melts add spices and let them mix.Now add tomato onion paste.

5

Cover the pan and let the tomato paste cook for few minutes until paste thickens and completely cooked.
6

Stir in the boiled veggies and mix. Using a potato masher, mash the veggies until they are completely mixed with the masala.
7

Add the remaining 3/4 – 1 cup water and pav bhaji masala mix well.
8

Cover the pot and set heat to low. Let the bhaji simmer on low heat for 10minutes.
9

Add a generous amount of chopped cilantro.
Then add in juice of 1 large lemon. Let the bhaji simmer for 2 more minutes and then remove pan from heat.
10

To toast the pav, melt butter on a pan on medium heat. Sprinkle some pav bhaji masala on top of the butter and then place the buns on the pan.
Press to toast the pav until crisp and golden brown from both sides.
