10. So in the pre preparation we have prepared all the pastes, while making pav bhaji at home specially if you want to make Street style pav bhaji recipe, lot of time people say that they can’t prepare pav bhaji similar to the street style pav bhaji recipe version, for that the pre preparation is a pretty basic but is really important to do it properly,
So friends now I am telling you how do I prepare when I cook pav bhaji firstly I have boiled four vegetable over hair here,
11. I am taking potato, cabbage, green peas, and beetroot, I have pressure cooked the potatoes and beetroot separately the reason for doing that is they take a lot of time to cook so I have pressure cooked them I have boiled the cauliflower and green pecs separately the reason for not cooking the cauliflower in a pressure cooker is that it’s relates a foul smell if you pressure cook it and the potatoes catch hold of that smell and then when you cook the pav bhaji at home it usually smells a little of because of this,
12. This is one big reason that Home style pav bhaji does not turn out like the street style one, so while the vegetable separately while boiling the cauliflower remember to add some salt and turmeric in the water boiled the vegetable like I have mentioned,
13. Next I have some chopped vegetables I have onion, capsicum, tomatoes, and fresh coriander leaves, these four vegetables are the only vegetables to be chopped,
please vegetable should be chopped RAW and used these vegetable should not be boiled at all, usually I have seen a lot of people who boil all vegetables together and prepare pav bhaji recipe, that method don’t give nice result,
14. The freshness of the tomatoes and capsicum have to be kept intact in the pav bhaji recipe for it to taste exactly market style pav bhaji,

17. And we will add 8 medium sized chopped tomatoes, now we will add boiled cauliflower 1 medium size one cup boiled green peas 1 medium size boiled beetroot and a handful of fresh chopped coriander leaves, and finally we will add salt according to test and they we will add prepared pav bhaji masala 2 table spoon one table spoon Kashmiri red chilli powder 1 tablespoon coriander powder, half teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon kasuri methi, and two tablespoon green chilli paste,

19. friend I like the consistency of my bhaji to be towards the semi thick to thin side, so to make Street style like pav bhaji recipe don’t keep the consistency of the bhaji really thick, continue to add hot water and mash the desired consistency of the bhaji is achieved, this complete process of cooking would it take about 20 minutes this step of adding water and continue to mash is really important to get the perfect consistency, so friends this is the perfect consistency for the bhaji now let’s prepare the tadka tempering,

23. then you will check if the vegetables are crushed properly or not if you feel they are not crushed then add some more water and mash it properly, you have to keep doing this process until you get the perfect pav bhaji consistency usually at home we don’t mash the vegetables properly and we do not add adequate water to it, that is why the street style pav bhaji feel is sometimes missing when you cook it at home.
24. so you need to add adequate amount of water and mash nicely, but also make sure to not add a lot of water which will make it like a gravy and become saucy, and also the texture of the vegetable should not feel like they have been ground in a mixture grinder, there should be some texture left they should not be too thick or too thin, if you keep this in mind your bhaji will turn out perfect, so friends I have mention all this tips and tricks in the blog but I am mentioning if here again so that your pav bhaji turns out amazing,
25. Next you guys must have notice that I have used a big tawa to make the bhaji it is not as a big as it is around 18 inch in diameter usually I use this tava to make pav bhaji and other tawa items,
If you are a pav bhaji fan and you keep making tawa recipe at your home then you can buy sometimes like this, if you don’t have it your pav bhaji will still turn out perfect firstly I have made this pav bhaji considering it people in mind considering this is the only this then will be having if you are serving something else do then this serve around 8 to 10 easily,
26. if you are making pav bhaji for for people then you can easily make it in a fry pan you can make the base in a kadai and then cook the tadka in a fry Pan in batches and adjust the consistency over there the trick here is to have a flat bottom vessel on top of it is the pav bhaji masher which mashes the layer of pav bhaji in between nicely, so you need a flat surface because of which you cannot make pav bhaji in a kadai,
27. so friends our bhaji is ready now let’s make the garlic chutney,
