Let’s make it
- Step 1
Heat oil in a pan. Add asafoetida, dabeli masala, potatoes, salt to taste, and a sprinkle of water. Mix it very well so that masala, salt and boiled potato assimilate very well.
- Step 2
Mix in the green chiles if using.
- Step 3
Remove potato mixture from the heat, and taste. If you want to make it more spicy, add some more dabeli masala, and mix again using your hands or a masher. Toss in the roasted peanuts and mix everything well.
- Step 4
Slice pav/bun into halves, and toast them with a little butter on a griddle.
- Step 5
Apply garlic chutney to one half of the bun (inner side) and tamarind-date chutney to the other half.
- Step 6
Place a portion of the potato filling in between between the bun halves.
- Step 7
Top with chopped onion, coriander, and sev.
- Step 8
Press down the bun from both side, and garnish with pomegranate seeds, and roasted peanuts.
- Step 9
Serve immediately, while medium-hot, with a extra dip of chutney on the plate. Fried green chillies, with a sprinkle of salt can be additionally given as an add-on.
