The Pav Bhaji Fondue smartly combines veggies, cheese, cream, milk and pav bhaji masala, into a richly flavored dip. It is really quick and easy to make. Not even an amateur cook can go wrong with this recipe!!
We have made Pav Bhaji Fondue with very few ingredients, that are easily available in India and if you’d have well managed pantry, you’ll find it all at home.
We have started with heating butter, added garlic paste which would perk up the flavor of Pav Bhaji Fondue, you can also use chilli garlic paste instead of garlic paste. Further, we have added veggies like onion, capsicum and tomato which offer a perfect blend of crunch, tang and flavor. Further, the main ingredient that is pav bhaji masala is added and chilli powder. Also, cheese and milk are added that give it a creamy texture.
Once it is cooked, it is coarsely blended in a food processor or a blender so that it gives a unique mouthfeel. Then, Pav Bhaji Fondue is again poured to the pan, cream is added and cooked for a minute and Pav Bhaji Fondue ready to be served!! We have eliminated potatoes but it has all the other key elements which makes it luscious and tasty!!
Place on the fondue stand with tea light or burner ignited. Serve the Pav Bhaji Fondue immediately with herb bread. Instead of herb bread, you can even make croutons out of ladi pav and then serve them with the pav bhaji fondue. If not serving immediately, the Pav Bhaji Fondue might thicken so, add little milk, re-heat and adjust the consistency before serving. But it is recommended to serve immediately fresh and hot, so that the aroma and flavour are at their best when served.
