It's also used in pav bhaji, Marathi (western Indian) street food
consisting of potatoes, mashed up/sauteed with tomatoes, bell peppers,
peas, cauliflower, etc., with a spice mixture (a warm, cardamom-heavy
masala with black salt called, appropriately enough, pav bhaji
masala), and copious butter or oil. Small lumps (esp. of cauliflower)
are ok, but it's fairly creamy. It's served with a toasted yeasty
bread.

The recipe in Nupur Kittur's blog, One Hot Stove, looks good:

(Great blog, BTW.)
