Pav Bhaji (instant pot or cooker) recipe

Bhaji means curry and Pav is like a burger or dinner roll kind of bread. In this recipe i did not use Pav Bhaji masala that can be bought in stores generally as i did not have at hand and used the masala powders that are available in the kitchen, it turned out really delicious so wanted to share the recipe i followed. However, you can replace all the masala powder and add the Pav Bhaji masala instead if you have it ready.

* Step 12

Heat tawa or a flat pan and toast the pav to light brown with butter, serve immediately with the bhaji, lime piece and finely chopped onions (the half onion in the first step is used here)

* Step 13

You can put a little butter on the gravy while serving too, though its optional

* Step 15

Notes2: You can also add to use ginger garlic paste instead of chopped ginger n garlic

* Step 16

Notes3 ; While mashing with hand grinder remember not to make it into to too much of a paste l, coarse grind gives good look and taste. I used a potato masher this time and i liked it better than doing with grinder.
