Pav Bhaji (Indian Curry) image

I made this after trying different methods over a few years. It all came together so well. The flavor and texture was amazing. You really need to add water at the end and not be scared that it will ruin the dish, it will not! You need a fairly runny consistency for the best pav bhaji. Garnish with fresh chopped tomatoes, onions, and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with toasted white bread or bread rolls.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 large onion, grated
¾ teaspoon salt, or as needed
5 cloves garlic, grated
1 ¼ cups water, or more as needed

3 tablespoons canned sweet corn, drained
1 teaspoon mild chile powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch ground ginger

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pav bhaji turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less green chilies if you don't like spicy food.
