Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Sauté Onions

   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pressure cooker pan. Add 1 bowl of chopped onions and fry until they turn translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

2. 2.Add Green Chillies and Ginger Garlic Paste

   Add 5-6 chopped green chillies and 2 teaspoons of ginger garlic paste to the pan. Fry well for about 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.

3. 3.Incorporate Tomatoes and Salt

   Add half a bowl of chopped tomatoes and salt to taste. Continue frying for 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

   Add some crushed kasuri methi, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon chat masala, 1/2 teaspoon pav bhaji masala, 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder, 2 teaspoons chilli powder, and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Mix all the spices thoroughly and fry for 2-3 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

5. 5.Add Curd

   Reduce the flame to low. Add half a cup of curd and mix it into the spice mixture. Continue frying for 2-3 minutes until the curd blends well and oil separates again.
