  • PRessure cook Sub with Insant Pot
  • Thick Bottomed Pan
  • Tava / Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 650 grams Potatoes about 5 large
  • 3 teaspoon Oil any neutral oil
  • 2 teaspoon melter Butter mixed well with the oil
  • 4 tablespoon Dabeli Masala store-bought or home-made
  • 1.5 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • ¼ cup Roasted Masala Peanuts
  • ¼ cup Chopped Onions
  • ⅛ cup Chopped Coriander
  • ¼ cup Date-Tamarind Chutney (mixed with 2 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup Garlic Chutney mixed with 2 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup Pomegranate pearls
  • 8 Pav sub with Slider buns / dinner rolls

Instructions
 

Prep:

  • Boil Potatoes (skin or otherwise) - mash them and keep aside. I mashed them with the skin intact
  • Make Garlic, & the date -tamarind chutneys and keep aside. Roast spices for Dabeli Masala, cool and powder. Keep it aside.
  • Make roasted spicy peanuts. Cool and keep aside.

Make the stuffing:

  • In a pan, heat half of the butter-oil mixture. Add the mashed potatoes, ¾ of the Dabeli Masala and mix gently till the masala coats the potatoes. Add 1-1.5 tablespoon of the date-tamarind paste and mix inside.
  • Stir till the mixture leaves the sides and is fully dry (without any residual moisture). Once slightly cool, transfer to a flat plate, level with the back of a spoon / flat ladle, sprinkle coriander, pomo pearls and onions. Keep aside.
  • Note - As the DAbeli masala and the tamarind-date paste had salt, I didn't add any extra salt. You may add as required.

Assembly and serve:

  • Heat a tava / skillet on medium flame. Take a pav bun / slider bun. slit horizontally but not fully . Apply both the chutneys on the insides, Add a spoon of the above potato filling and push it slightly in, add a teaspoon of the roasted masala peanuts, and cover with another teaspoon of the spicy potato filling.
  • Roll the sides of the cut bun in a flat plate filled with sev (fried gramflour vermicelli). Place on a greased tava, let it warm till slightly crispy.
  • Serve immediately. Repeat for each pav and enjoy :-)
