Servings: 4-6 servings

Prep Time: 20 mins

Cooking Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients: 

• 8-12 mini bagels

• 1 .5 cups bhaji (no pav needed)

• 1/4 cup shredded cheese

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Slice the top of the bagels. Scoop them out. I used a spoon to scoop it out. Press down to smoothen it out.

3. Fill the bagel cavity with slightly cooled bhaji.

4. Sprinkle cheese over it.

5. Bake at 350F for 7-10 mins.

6. Serve warm with chopped onions and lemon wedges.

Notes/Tips:

• You can use larger bagels if you like. Smaller mini bagels make it easy to hold and eat.

• Use any bhaji recipe you like or even store-bought. I used this recipe.

• If you fill the bagels with warm bhaji cavity it can make the bagel soggy.

• If you like it very toasty, toast the scooped bagels and then fill and bake again.
