Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons oil, divided
  2. 1 large onion, grated
  3. ¾ teaspoon salt, or as needed
  4. 5 cloves garlic, grated
  5. 1 ¼ cups water, or more as needed
  6. 2 teaspoons pav bhaji masala, divided
  7. 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  8. 2 small potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
  9. 3 tablespoons canned sweet corn, drained
  10. 1 teaspoon mild chile powder
  11. 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  12. 1 pinch ground ginger
  13. ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  14. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; fry until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 4 minutes. Pour in 1 cup water. Add 1 teaspoon pav bhaji masala and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add tomatoes, potatoes, and corn to the saucepan. Season with chile powder, coriander, and ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Mash curry gently with the back of a wooden spoon or spatula. Simmer for 10 minutes more. Taste and adjust salt. Add 1/2 teaspoon pav bhaji masala and lemon juice. Mash slightly again.
  3. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to give curry a runny consistency. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and butter; stir until butter is melted. Divide into serving bowls and sprinkle remaining pav bhaji masala on top.

I made this exactly as written and really enjoyed it. It was my first time cooking with pav bhaji masala and I’m looking forward to making this again. I used my food processor to make quick work of grating the onion. Adding in the butter at the end really transforms the flavor. I’m not sure the small amount of corn was even worth opening up a can for – I might just leave it out next timed or add a bit more. Also, this makes small servings, so keep that in mind. I got the mild chile and pav bhaji masala from an international market.
