About Vasant Pav Bhaji Masala
Vasant Pav Bhaji Masala is made for the dish Mumbai loves most on a rainy evening: buttery bhaji mashed on a big tawa and served with soft pav, chopped onion and a wedge of lemon. The masala gives the bhaji its deep red colour, warm spice and slightly tangy finish.
The blend includes coriander, chilli, cumin, fennel, cinnamon, cinnamon leaves, black pepper, star anise, big cardamom, dry ginger, cloves and turmeric, along with sour mango for tang and triphala, a spice used in Konkani and Goan cooking for its sharp, citrusy aroma. It is the balance of these that makes home bhaji taste like the one from a Juhu or Girgaon stall.
Vasant's recipe starts by frying two finely chopped onions with garlic paste in butter or oil, then adding two mashed tomatoes, a tablespoon of pav bhaji masala, chilli powder and salt. Add about 500g of boiled, mashed vegetables such as potato, peas, cauliflower and capsicum, cook for a few minutes, and finish with butter and coriander. The same masala works in tawa pulao, masala pav, bhaji sandwiches and cheese pav bhaji toast.
Available in 50g and 100g packs and a 500g jar. Masala365 is an authorised Vasant Masala distributor in Kandivali West, and we deliver across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane. Orders from other parts of India are taken on WhatsApp inquiry.
