Method

Heat the oil and 15 g butter on a wide tawa. Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Add the onion and green chilli; cook until the onion is translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 45 seconds.
Add the tomatoes and salt. Cook and mash until the tomatoes become pulpy and glossy.
Add 15 g of Mumbai Tawa Pav Bhaji Masala and water; cook for 1 minute. Add the capsicum and peas and toss for 2 minutes so they stay bright and slightly firm.
Add the cooled rice and remaining butter. Fold gently with two flat spatulas until every grain is evenly coated and hot without becoming mashed.
Turn off the heat, fold in the coriander and lemon juice, and serve immediately.
