Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 3 cups Basmati rice (cooked and cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 cup Bell pepper (capsicum), chopped
  • 2 medium Tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Green peas (boiled)
  • 2 tablespoons Pav Bhaji Masala
  • 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat butter on a large flat griddle (tawa) or a wide pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add cumin seeds; once they sizzle, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.

  3. 3

    Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped tomatoes and salt, cooking until they soften and become mushy.

  5. 5

    Add the bell peppers and boiled peas, sautéing for 2-3 minutes while keeping the peppers slightly crunchy.

  6. 6

    Mix in the pav bhaji masala and red chili powder, splashing a little water to prevent the spices from burning.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked rice and gently toss to ensure every grain is coated with the masala without breaking the rice.

  8. 8

    Garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving hot.
