Instructions
 

  • In a large, deep sauté pan over medium heat, combine potatoes, cauliflower, peas, tomatoes, and ¼ cup water. Season with salt, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Smash the cooked vegetables into a pulp using a potato masher, then transfer to a large bowl.

  • Stir in lime juice and the smashed vegetables. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes. Uncover and smash the bhaji until combined. Season with salt and remove from heat.
  • Mix together 50g butter, reserved chorizo oil, and 1 tsp pav bhaji masala in a bowl.
  • Butter the bread buns (Pav) on both sides with the chorizo butter then toast on a pan on both sides until toasted.
  • Serve the Bhaji with the bread buns toasted in chorizo butter, diced raw onions mixed with cilantro, and a wedge of lime.
