Pav bhaji pulao – veggie dum biryani in instant pot using pav bhaji masala

Pav Bhaji Pulao or an easy veggie dum biryani with pav bhaji masala.. made in instant pot.
I have always been a very strong believer of reusing and repurposing food, ingredients and dishes.
This is one such recipe, make a yummy veggie loaded pav bhaji masala for breakfast and the repurpose the masala with this famous street dish called tawa biryani. But it is not a tawa biryani now, I have made it a simple layered dum biryani in my @instantpot.in instant pot. Best way to make kids eat vegetables since they wonβt find chunky pieces in the rice, thanks to the pav bhaji masala, all veggies are mashed.
There is a great simple recipe in my blog for the masala. Search soup maker pav bhaji masala.
