Instructions
Cook the Vegetables
In a large pan melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 3 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes stirring frequently until tomatoes darken.
Make the Bhaji
Add mashed potatoes to the pan and mix everything together thoroughly. Add pav bhaji masala and salt. Using a potato masher mash everything together in the pan. Add a splash of water if too thick and simmer for 10 minutes.
Toast the Pav
Slice dinner rolls in half. Melt remaining butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Place rolls cut side down and toast for 2 minutes until golden and crispy on the inside. Kids love the buttery crunch.
Serve with Toppings
Spoon generous bhaji into bowls or plates. Top with a small pat of butter and serve immediately with toasted pav. Offer a squeeze of lemon juice on top. This is a complete meal kids will ask for repeatedly.
