Pao Bhaji

Made this yesterday, for lunch. Had this recipe quite sometimes now, got the pao bhaji masala from Mustaffa Centre. Bought the breads from Carrefour@ Suntec on Saturday... Mr Hubby got $500 gift voucher from his Dinner & Dance night...already used the other day, so balance $150 we used to buy groceries and other stuff. I took alot of cheese and breads...I told myself might else well used up the whole amount rather then to comeback again to Carrefour.. quite a distance from our house since its going to be expired......

The verdict, the pao bhaji, taste like thosai masala's potato fillings ....quite fulling, I ate around 4-5 small round buns and it covered for my lunch...the potatoes mixture are quite an amount, so if you want to try, maybe you can half it...imagine I gave away about 10 buns to 2 separate neighbours cause the mixture can feed the 'whole village'...hehehehe....
