Instructions
-
Preparation: Begin by preparing the Pav Bhaji in your Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker. Set the cooker to the gravy mode to sauté the masala effectively.
-
Sautéing: Once the cooker is heated, add a splash of oil. Introduce the finely chopped onion, grated garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the raw aroma of the onion dissipates, about 3-4 minutes.
-
-
Adding Ingredients: Next, incorporate all remaining ingredients for the bhaji, except for the steamed green peas, butter, and lemon juice. Stir everything together, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
-
Cooking: Add 1/2 cup of water to the pot, then lock the lid securely in place. Set the timer for 30 minutes and allow the pressure cooker to work its magic. After the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure release naturally.
-
Mashing: Open the cooker and use a potato masher to mash the bhaji until it reaches a smooth, uniform consistency. Add the lemon juice and butter, mixing well. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
-
Serving: Transfer the One Pot Pav Bhaji to a serving bowl. Serve hot alongside toasted homemade whole wheat pav and a cup of masala chai, garnished with finely chopped onions on top.
