Whenever it happens that only a few vegetables are left in my refrigerator, I make paav bhaji with the leftover vegetables. Generally, vegetables like cauliflower, green peas, tomatoes, onions, and potatoes are used to make paav bhaji. I made with the same vegetables I mentioned and few more in details, please take a look.

3 medium size tomatoes finely chopped
1 large onion finely chopped.
