Pav bhaji is a mixed veggie dish from India. It is a street food that is found all over India now. My friend is going to teach me the correct way to make it. The veggie part (bhaji) is mashed potatoes with pea, cauliflower, carrots....whatever, with a base roux made from garlic, ginger, onions, peppers and tomatoes. It is served on rolls with butter (the pav part of the dish). I'm trying to eliminate most of the fat from my diet so I ate it on w.w. bread without butter, and used no fat in the cooking. Made properly, which I didn't do, this stuff is darn near irresistable. I made mine with potatoes, peas, green beans, cauliflower, carrots, beets and pav bhaji masala; its pink! Because of a misreading of Indian English, I used a poblano pepper where I should have used green pepper. That poblano was one hot sucker, my mouth is still burning a bit from lunch. When my friend teaches me the right way to make it, I'll post the recipe.
Sorry for the long answer to a short question.
I'm hoping to loose about 50 pounds by fall. I need the support, because I'm not very good about keeping things going with eating right.
