Directions
Bollywood Veggie Spread (or Dip), This is a simplified version of a recipe for pav bhaji, an indian street snack served on hot rolls, that I found in the LA Times [ latimes com/features/food/la-fo-bombayrec1may11, 0, 2822841 story?coll=la-home-food ] You can use it as a spread for nan, pitta or tortillas; snack on it as a dip with chips or serve it alone as a spicy low carb alternative to mashed potatoes use the pinch method for measuring spices, so the ginger, garlic, cumin and garam masala are approximate , I’m not rating with stars because I made a lot of substitutions, but this was pretty good with whole wheat pita I’ve dipped cauliflower in things before, but I’ve never had a spread made with it The biggest sub I made was shallots instead of onions (I didn’t have onions), and I don’t recommend doing that – I think the onions would have given a sweeter, fuller taste I increased the recipe to 6 servings even though I live by myself, just to use enough of the ingredients to feel like it was worth the effort , This is a simplified version of a recipe for pav bhaji, an indian street snack served on hot rolls, that I found in the LA Times [ latimes com/features/food/la-fo-bombayrec1may11, 0, 2822841 story?coll=la-home-food ] You can use it as a spread for nan, pitta or tortillas; snack on it as a dip with chips or serve it alone as a spicy low carb alternative to mashed potatoes use the pinch method for measuring spices, so the ginger, garlic, cumin and garam masala are approximate
