- Spice the veggie/bean mash: Heat oil in pan. Add jeera (cumin) and cook 1-2 minutes then add in hing (asafetida). Put heat to medium. Next, add onions and let cook 3-4 minutes. Then add sweet peppers and let both cook until onions are translucent. Add pav bhaji masala and cinnamon to mixture. After about 1 minute add in crushed tomatoes and mix. Last, add in veggie/bean mash, red mirchi (pepper) powder, salt to pan and mix thoroughly. Let cook and mix for 2-3 minutes, then taste to adjust for spice and salt preference. Turn off heat.
Step 3
- Sour cream drizzle: Blend sour cream, diced jalapenos, cilantro and salt.
Step 4
- Preheat oven to 325F. Use veggie/bean mash to spread onto nacho chips. Top with onions and jalapenos. Bake for about 8 minutes until cheese melts. Drizzle sour cream mix before serving with salsa.
