     1 ts Garam masala
   1/2 c  Cilantro; fine chopped

 Heat ghee in a medium pot (about 10" 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 tb of the butter followed by the
 tomato paste, coriander, ground cumin, chile powder, turmeric,
 green chiles, and 1 tb 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 tb butter on the
 interiors.

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