The main ingredient for making pav bhaji fondue is pav bhaji. It can be made fresh or leftovers can be used. It is blended to a smooth puree in a blender like Vitamix.
Vegetable broth is used as the base. Grated cheese like cheddar and pepper jack are added to make it cheesy.
To enhance the flavor, pav bhaji masala is added along with some heavy cream which gives it a smooth texture.

What type of fondue pot to use
I have used the 3 qt. Cuisinart electric fondue pot to make pav bhaji fondue. I have made the fondue directly in the pot. It can be made on the stovetop and then transferred to a non-electric fondue pot.
How to store leftovers
It is best to serve the pav bhaji fondue hot and you won't even realize when it will be gone.
If you have any leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container and can be reheated later.
