Step-by-Step Instructions

1.Pressure Cook Vegetables
Add chopped potatoes, carrots, green peas, and cauliflower florets to a pressure cooker. Season with salt, turmeric powder, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Add 2 cups of water. Close the pressure cooker and cook for 4 to 5 whistles on medium flame until vegetables are soft.
2.Mash Vegetables
Once the pressure is released, open the cooker and mash the cooked vegetables thoroughly with a potato masher. Set aside.
3.Prepare Masala Base
Heat a large iron skillet (tava) on medium flame. Add 100 gms of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of oil. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add 3 finely chopped onions and sauté on high flame until they turn golden brown.
4.Add Aromatics and Tomatoes
Add 3 chopped green chilies and 2 teaspoons of ginger-garlic paste. Cook for 3 minutes until the raw smell disappears. Add 5 finely chopped tomatoes and mix well.
5.Add Spices
Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 2 teaspoons of Kashmiri red chili powder, and 4 teaspoons of Pav Bhaji Masala. Mix all the spices thoroughly with the vegetables.
6.Add Capsicum and Cook
Add 1 chopped capsicum and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7.Combine with Mashed Vegetables
Add the cooked and mashed vegetables to the masala base. Mix everything well until fully combined. Add 1/2 cup of water and mix again.
8.Mash and Simmer Bhaji
Mash the bhaji again with the potato masher to achieve a smooth consistency. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
9.Toast Pav Buns
Heat a separate tava and add some butter. Cut the pav buns in half. Place the pav buns on the tava, spread butter on top, and toast until golden brown on both sides.
10.Serve Pav Bhaji
Serve the hot Pav Bhaji on a plate. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves, chopped onions, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Add a few cubes of butter on top of the bhaji for extra richness. Serve immediately with the toasted pav buns.
