About The ingredients:

Oats: For this recipe, I have used Bagrry’s white oats. You can also use Quaker or Saffola oats. Just make sure they are quick-cooking oats.

Veggies: Here I have used cauliflower, carrots, green peas and capsicum. Along with this, you’ll require onions and ginger-garlic paste.

If you don’t like any vegetable then just leave that one out or replace it with any other vegetable of your choice. Make sure you add the vegetable according to their cooking time. For example, I have added green peas at the beginning because it requires more time to cook.

Tomato puree: You can use both homemade or store-bought tomato puree.

Whole and powdered spices: In this recipe, you’ll need some cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and pav bhaji masala.

And lots of butter and coriander leaves!

Don’t have pav bhaji masala?

If you don’t have pav bhaji masala at home then replace it with garam masala or maggi masala. Both of them will go really well with this recipe.
