• 2 tbsp Coriander seeds

• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 cardamom pod 
• 2 cloves
• 2 Bay leaves

• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 3 whole dried kashmiri chilli/ 1 normal dried chilli
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder 
• 1 tsp dry Mango powder/amchur powder. 

1. Dry roast the above ingredients except for Turmeric powder and dry Mango powder and allow to cool completely.
2. Grind well and finally add the Turmeric powder and dry Mango powder and give a couple of blitz and store in a dry and clean container.

• If you want super mashed up veggies in your bhaji, you may cook them well in a pressure cooker before you prepare the masala.
• The usage of the type of veggies used in Pav bhaji can make a slight difference in taste, if you like a sweeter taste you may use carrot, for extra color you may use beetroot. I personally like more Capsicum which helps bring out the flavors better.
