Instant Pressure cooker Pav Bhaji! This is my comfort go-to dish when I crave for Street Style Pav Bhaji and I don’t have much time! It tastes so delicious! I wanted to share the recipe with you all! 🙂






Ingredients
2 tbsp Butter or Oil
2 cups Red Onions diced
3 cups Tomato chopped, about 5 large
1" inch Ginger
8 cloves Garlic
3 Whole Dried Kashmiri Red Chili Pepper
1 Bell pepper chopped, 130gms
3 Potato medium, peeled and chopped.
1 Carrot cut in pieces, 90gms or 2/3 cup
1 1/2 cup Cauliflower (Gobi) cut in small pieces
3/4 cup Green peas
1/2 cup Water
2 tbsp Pav Bhaji Masala
1 tsp Salt or to taste
1 tbsp Lemon juice

For Pav
10 Dinner rolls (Pav) or Dinner rolls
2 tbsp Butter
To garnish
1/2 Onion chopped
1/4 cup Cilantro to garnish
Instructions/Method
  1. Soak red whole chili in 1/2 cup water for 15 mins. Grind chili, ginger, and garlic along with the water to a paste. (Note: if you skip grinding chilies with water, then do add 1/2 cup water before pressure cooking and add the ginger/garlic along with the onions)
  2. Heat butter/oil in the pressure cooker on medium-high flame. Add onions and sauté for 3 minutes.
  3. Add bell pepper and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes, pav bhaji masala and salt. Add the ground chili paste. If anything is stuck to the bottom of the pot, scrape it with a spatula.
  5. Add cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, and green peas. Mix well. Press cancel and close lid with the vent in sealing position.
  6. Cover the lid, turn the heat on high flame, and pressure cook it until you hear two whistles. Now reduce the flame to medium and pressure cook it for another 6 minutes. Turn off heat. Let the pressure release naturally.
  7. Open and use an immersion blender to coarsely grind the ingredients. You can also use a potato masher to mash the bhaji to the desired consistency.
  8. Put on medium flame and let the bhaji boil for a minute. Mix in the lemon juice. Bhaji is ready to be served.

Preparing Pav
  1. Slice each pav or dinner rolls in two halves.
  2. Heat butter on a pan and place the sliced pav on it. Lightly toast on one side and then turn to toast on the other side.
  3. Pav is ready to be served with bhaji.

Serving Pav Bhaji
Take 1-2 ladles of bhaji on a plate. Add a dollop of butter. Sprinkle some chopped onions and cilantro on the top. Sprinkle some lemon juice on the top if you like a tangier taste. Serve with two buttered pav's on the side.
