  1. Take all the vegetables listed in the ingredients. Wash them in running water and cut them into small pieces..

  4. Cook the ginger-garlic-green chili for 1 minute..
  5. Cook the onions for around 4 minutes until golden brown in color. Add the finely chopped ginger, garlic and green chili. Again, I used my food processor to chop them really fine..

  10. Stir in the boiled veggies and mix..
  11. Using a potato masher, mash the veggies until they are completely mixed with the masala..
  12. Add the remaining 3/4 – 1 cup water and mix. I used an immersion blender to blend the veggies to a paste like consistency, this is optional. You may keep them as such..
  13. Cover the pot and set heat to low. Let the bhaji simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Open the pot and add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and paneer cubes..
