    1 lg Russet potato; peeled; in

    1/2 Head cauliflower; into small
    - florets (2 cups)
    1/2 c Frozen peas
    2 tb Fresh lime juice
    +=plus=+
    Lime wedges for serving
    4 (to 6) slider buns or mini
    - potato buns
    1 ts Garam masala
    1/2 c Fine chopped cilantro

    Heat ghee in a medium pot (about 10 inches in diameter)
    on high. Add cumin seeds and cook for 30 seconds until
    they darken and start to sputter. Add the ginger and
    garlic along with half of the onion. Cook, stirring
    occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 7
    minutes.

    Reduce heat to medium and add 4 tablespoons of the
    butter followed by the tomato paste, coriander, ground
    cumin, chile powder, turmeric, green chiles and 1
    tablespoon salt. Cook, stirring often to ensure spices
    don't stick and burn, until mixture is slightly
    darkened, about 1 minute.

    Add potato, cauliflower and peas. Increase heat to high
    and stir in 1 1/2 cups of water. When the mixture starts
    bubbling, decrease heat to medium, cover, and cook until
    potato is falling apart and cauliflower is tender, about
    18 minutes. Uncover, Increase heat to high and continue
    cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir
    frequently and aggressively for about 5 minutes so that
    all the vegetables get smashed together. The mixture
    should be semi-solid, malleable and sticky. Remove from
    heat, add lime juice and mash to combine. Season with
    salt.

    Toast the buns and spread the remaining 1/2 tablespoon
    butter on the interiors.

    Assemble the sliders by scooping the bhaji onto the
    bottom of each bun. Top with the remaining onion, the
    garam masala and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime
    wedges.
