Chop the tomatoes and capsicum finely and keep aside.Cut the remaining veggies in big pieces and cook in a pressure cooker with a little water for 7 minutes. When cooled, peel the raw banana and discard the skin. Now mash the veggies with a masher. Meanwhile, heat some butter in a frying pan and fry the capsicums and tomatoes. Add the boiled veggies and sprinkle pav-bhaji masala and salt. Mash again with the masher till the veggies blend well.
