Cooking Instructions

30-45 mins
  1. 1

    Clean and wash all the vegetables thoroughly in salt water.

  2. 2

    Peel the potatoes and cut into quarters. Chop the cauliflower into medium size florets, and roughly dice the the capsicum, carrots, and beans (if available at home). PS: you can use any vegetables available at home. I tried using Tendli (Ivy Gourd), though it didn't make any difference to the taste, but added some nutrients definitely.

  3. 3

    In a pressure cooker, heat some butter, fry some cumin seeds, finely chopper onions and saute till it becomes pink in colour.

  4. 4

    To this add finely chopped tomatoes and saute until it turns mushy.

  5. 5

    Add little sugar to balance out the acidity, otherwise the Pavbhaji might taste biy sour. Add turmeric powder, kashmiri chilli powder and pav bhaji masala and keep mixing it.

  6. 6

    Add the vegetables (potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, capsicum, peas, beans etc) and mix till they are well coated with the masala.

  7. 7

    Add the salt as per taste and then 2-3 glasses of water. Close the lid and cook up to 4-5 whistles.

  8. 8

    Wait until the cooker is completely cool. Using a potato masher or Pavbhaji masher, mash the bhaji in the cooker itself.

  9. 9

    The vegetables will be cooked perfectly, you can adjust the consistency at this stage by adding more water if required. Mash till you get a desired texture of Pavbhaji. If you want, you can check the taste for salt/spice at this stage.

  10. 10

    Add lot of butter and re-heat the bhaji without the lid. Keep stirring occasionally. You can squeeze in 1/2 a lemon for the perfect taste.

  11. 11

    Garnish with finely chopped coriander or parsley.

  12. 12

    Toast the pav with some butter and a teaspoon of the bhaji for the authentic street style effect.
