Ingredients
Pav Filling
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 onion chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp garlic grated
- 3 potatoes chopped, then boiled or steamed
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 carrot chopped
- 3 tomatoes chopped
- handful broccoli chopped
- 1 tbsp pav bhaji masala
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tbsp kashmiri chilli powder
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp coriander chopped
Garlic Butter
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 cloves garlic grated
Toppings
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- pav bhaji masala
- coriander chopped
- vegan cheese
- green chillies optional
Instructions
Pav Filling
- Heat vegan butter in a pan over low-medium heat. Add in your cumin seeds and cook until fragrant.
- Add onions and garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in your carrot and tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add your bell pepper, broccoli, salt, ground turmeric, pav bhaji masala and Kashmiri red chilli powder. Mix, then cover and cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Pour your maple syrup, lemon juice and add your coriander. Using a potato masher, mash the mixture well (you should still have some un-mashed veggies).
Garlic Butter
- Add your vegan butter and garlic into a bowl and microwave for 10-20 seconds or until the butter has melted. You can also do this in a saucepan over low heat.
Assembly
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C fan.
- Cut your soft rolls in half and place the bottom side onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Generously spread your vegan garlic butter on the bottom half of your rolls.
- Spread your Pav filling on top, then sprinkle green chillies on top.
- Add your vegan cheese on top - I used vegan cheese slices but you can use shredded vegan cheese.
- Sprinkle some freshly chopped coriander on top, along with some pav bhaji masala.
- Close your sliders with the top half of your rolls, spread a little more melted vegan butter on top. Then, sprinkle some more coriander and pav bhaji masala on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Finely, sprinkle some salt flakes on top (this is optional) + enjoy warm with some ketchup or green chutney!
