Pav Bhaji Recipe

Hello Foodies!</h1/>

Pav Bhaji is a famous Indian street food that is apparently not unhealthy. Bhaji is the gravy here, it’s a semi-gravy kind of a dish made using any and all vegetables that are there in your refrigerator – bottle gourds, carrot, cabbage, cauliflower, peas, potato, brinjal; you can use them all. All the vegetables that your little one doesn’t like, just add them and he would love it.

Pav is a bun made using flour. I get them from the market although they can be easily prepared at home using the bread dough.

Pav bhaji is a flavorsome meal, a delicious blend of vegetables and spices. It is topped with butter which makes the gravy really smooth and served with onions and lemon wedges. The taste mostly comes from the pav bhaji masala which is readily available in markets from a lot of brands now.

Let’s see how we make it.

Method

Step 1: Take a pressure cooker, add 1 cup of water and all the vegetables you wish to add. I have added carrot, bottle gourd, cauliflower, potatoes and peas.
Step 2: Pressure cook for 1 whistle, then lower the flame and cook for 5 minutes and turn off the flame. When the pressure releases, open the lid and allow the vegetables to cool.
Step 3: Now take a hand masher and use it to mash the veggies well.
Step 4: In a separate pan, heat about 20 gms of butter. Add chopped onion and saute them until golden brown.
Step 5: Now add chopped ginger and chopped garlic and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Add chopped bell peppers and cook them for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7: Now add chopped tomatoes, salt and red chilli powder and cover with a lid. Allow to cook until the tomatoes are properly cooked and become soft.
Step 8: Add the pav bhaji masala now and mix well. Add the boiled vegetables, about 50 gms of butter and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes on low flame.
Step 9: Cut the buns into two equal halves, toast them using butter.
Serve the pav bhaji hot with buns, chopped onion and lemon wedges. Enjoy your meal!
