Now add the mashed potatoes. Cook for a minute.
Add the mashed vegetables. Cook for another minute. Add the red chili powder,salt,chaat masala,pav bhaji masala and mix all the ingredients well.

Tips!
This bhaji goes well with Pav which is a bread made specially for this bhaji.
Try adding 6-7 small mint leaves for that extra flavour. Add the leaves when you puree the tomato along with the chilly.
Serve Pav Bhaji with chopped onions and a slice of lemon.
