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 won’t 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.
For my this recipe you need
2 cups of the pav bhaji masala
1 cup of basmati rice
1/2 cup fresh or frozen Green peas
A handful of fragrant herbs like coriander and mint leaves. That’s all.

Method
1. Wash the basmati rice and the green peas. In the instant pot, insert the inner pot and add a cup of water. Place the trivet and a heat safe bowl that can hold 4 cups of cooked rice
2. Add the rice and the green peas. Close the lid and set the pressure valve. Set the mode to pressure cook 5 minutes. Quick release after minutes of cooking
3. Keep ready the fluffed rice and peas, masala and the herbs
4. Now clear out the water and the trivet, and set the mode to sauté
5. Add a teaspoon of oil, add a layer of the pav bhaji masala. Add some herbs and then a layer of rice & peas
6. Repeat until the ingredients are over  and ensure you have the top layer of masala and greens
7. Cancel saute mode and simply close with the lid. Open after 15 minutes, give a brief stir but maintain layers and serve with raita and chips..
