    Pressure Cooker Pav bhaji

    Pav bhaji is a popular street food, pressure cooker version is super easy to make and tastes so good.

    Vegetables for bhaji

    I have used carrots, beetroot, potato, cauliflower, peas, and capsicum. Based on the amount of vegetables you use flavor and consistency will differ. I use very little capsicum as it influences the taste. Beetroot is for a nice color, avoid adding more as it will affect the taste. Potato helps for consistency so avoid adding less.

    Pav bhaji masala

    I used MDH masala. You can make homemade or any store-bought masala of your choice.

    Can I reduce the water?

    You can add less water too but after pressure cooking, we will boil so bhaji won't be watery.

    Should I boil the bhaji after pressure cooking

    Yes, boiling in medium-high flame for the best Mumbai-style Pav bhaji is a must. I Simmer bhaji while I cook pav so while serving it will be hot and cheese absorbs the flavor well.

    Why amul butter and cheese?

    After getting influenced by the street food version I used amul. It makes it so flavorful i would highly recommend 

    Which pav to use?

    You can make homemade Pav but for dinner parties i would recommend Costco bun as it goes well with bhaji flavor 

    Make ahead bhaji for dinner parties 

    If you are serving bhaji for guests. You can make it ahead and prepare the Pav just before serving.

    What should be the consistency of bhaji

    It shouldn't be runny not like thokku.
