Paav Bhaji Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Make the pav bhaji masala: Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, fennel seeds, and cardamom pods to a medium skillet. Turn the heat to medium and toast the spices for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• Transfer the toasted spices to a spice grinder and grind into a fine powder. Alternatively, use a mortar and pestle to grind the spices. Transfer the masala to an airtight container. It will keep for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.
• Make the pav bhaji: In a small bowl, mix together the ginger and garlic.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the potatoes, tomatoes, peas, the ginger-garlic paste, 1½ tablespoons pav bhaji masala, the turmeric, 1 tablespoon chile powder, ½ cup (120 ml) water, and 1 teaspoon salt and stir well. Add the paprika and cayenne and stir to combine. Turn the head to medium and cover the pot. Cook for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Uncover the pan and use a potato masher to mash the vegetables into a paste. The mixture will not be completely smooth, but all of the vegetables should be broken down as much as possible. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in the same pot (no need to wipe out). Add the red onion, jalapeños, the tomato paste, cilantro, ½ tablespoon pav bhaji masala, remaining ½ tablespoon chile powder, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for 5-8 minutes, until the onion is translucent and spices are fragrant.
• Return the potato mixture to the pot and stir well to combine. Continue mashing, adding the remaining ½ cup water, plus more as needed, until the mixture is thick, but pourable. Season with more salt to taste.
• Serve the pav bhaji with buttered, toasted buns, minced red onion, minced cilantro, lemon wedges, and more butter on top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Press "Saute" mode on Instant Pot
• Heat avocado oil and whole spices.
• Add onions and tomatoes and saute until onions are translucent. Then, add garlic, ginger, crushed tomatoes, salt, paprika, red chili powder, turmeric, pav bhaji spice pack, garam masalo. Add 1 cup water. Mix well. Let gravy cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent gravy from burning.
• Add all the vegetables and mix well with gravy.
• Add the remaining water and mix well. Water level should be about ¾ to the top of the veggies, so adjust as necessary.
• Close the lid of the Instant Pot and press 'Cancel' and then press "Steam" and adjust time to 12 minutes. Set valve to 'Sealing' mode.
• Once the Instant Pot completes the cycle, it will beep. Either switch the valve to 'Venting' position (be careful as steam will come out of the top of the IP), or allow the Instant Pot to manually vent. Carefully open the lid once it is safe to do so.
• Using a potato masher or handheld immersion blender, mash all the cooked veggies and mix well to incorporate with the gravy.
• Serve with buttered and toasted bread. For a low carb option, you can serve on romaine or butter lettuce.
