5 minutes - Pav Bhaji | Opos | பாவ் பாஜி

I have followed OPOS(One Pot One Shot) method of cooking. This simple method of cooking takes 5-6 minutes of cooking time in the pressure cooker. But no compromise on quality or taste. Please follow the recipe completely along with the notes, to achieve the same consistency as mine. The below recipe should only be used in 2litre pressure cooker. 

Ingredients :-
-------------------

Onions (finely chopped)	1
Tomatoes (finely chopped)	2
Cauliflower (blanched & finely chopped)	¼ cup
Green peas	¼ cup
Potato (peeled and finely chopped)	¼ cup
Cabbage (finely shredded)	¼ cup
Carrot (finely chopped)	¼ cup
Capsicum (finely chopped)	¼ cup
Green chillies	4
Ginger garlic paste	1 tsp
Turmeric powder	¼ tsp
Chilli powder	½ tsp
Coriander powder	½ tsp
Cumin powder	½ tsp
Pav bhaji masala	½ tsp
Amchur powder	pinch
Kasoori methi	¼ tsp
Pav bread	as needed
Butter	2 tbsp
Coriander leaves	for garnishing
Lemon wedges	for garnishing
Sugar	¼ tsp
Salt	to taste

Method:-
------------- 
1). Rinse and finely chop all the veggies and keep aside. In a 2 litre pressure cooker, add butter and layer the veggies one by one. 2). Add all the powders on top of the veggies along with ginger garlic paste, sugar and salt. Finally add crushed kasoori methi and close the lid. Cook approximately for 5-6 minutes for 2 whistles. Switch off and release the pressure or let the pressure go by itself. 3). Open the cooker and mash the veggies coarsely/finely using potato masher. Done ! 4). Slice the pav bread into two equal halfs. The buns which I used were already cut. Heat butter on a griddle. Open the buns, toast both sides for a minute or till pav is crisp and golden. Garnish the bhaji with chopped coriander leaves and a dollop of butter. Serve hot with pav accompanied with remaining chopped onion and lemon wedges. Yummilicious!!

 
Notes :-
-----------
# I layered it this way - Butter + Onions + green chillies + tomatoes + cabbage + carrot + green peas + potatoes + capsicum + ginger garlic paste + powders (turmeric + coriander + chilli + cumin + amchoor + pav bhaji masala) + kasoori methi + salt + sugar.
# You can use veggies of your choice. Try to use mixed combination but avoid beets to prevent discoloration. 
 # The consistency was perfect, I did not add extra water for bhaji.
# For spicier version, sprinkle pav bhaji masala on top of butter while toasting.
# Pav Bhaji masala can be replaced by garam masala.
#I have replaced pav bread with burger buns.
# It tastes best when it is hot.
