Now put the washed tonjal/paalpie into the Pressure pan, add ½ tspn turmeric pwd. & 2 cups of water & pressure cook for 10 mins – (i.e. once the first whistle is released lower flame & leave to cook for 10 mins) – remove from heat & leave the cooker to de pressurize on its own – open & cut the tonjal/paalpie into ½” pcs & keep.

Mince finely 1 big Onion; 2 tomatoes & keep with a sprig of curry leaves.
