Masala Omelette Pav Sandwich

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables and Pav

   • Finely chop the red onion, deseeded tomato, green chillies, and coriander leaves. Keep them ready.
   • Slice the pav buns horizontally, ensuring one side remains hinged like a book.
   • Heat 2 tbsp of butter on a tawa or large frying pan over medium heat. Place the pav buns, cut-side down, and toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp. Set aside.
2. 2

   Make the Omelette Mixture (for one serving)

   • In a small bowl, crack 2 eggs. Add one-fourth of the chopped onion, tomato, green chilli, and coriander leaves.
   • Add a pinch each of turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper.
   • Whisk vigorously with a fork for about 45 seconds until the mixture is light, airy, and slightly frothy.
3. 3

   Cook the Masala Omelette

   • In the same pan used for the pav, add 1/2 tbsp of the remaining butter over medium heat.
   • Once the butter melts and shimmers, pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan. Let it spread into a circle.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes. When the edges start to set and turn opaque, gently lift them to let any uncooked egg flow underneath.
   • Once the top is almost set, carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
   • Press down gently and cook for another 30-40 seconds on each side until it's cooked through and golden brown.
4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwich

   • Take one toasted pav bun and gently open it.
   • If desired, spread a thin layer of tomato ketchup or mint chutney on the inside.
   • Carefully place the hot, folded masala omelette inside the pav.

   Repeat and Serve

   • Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 to make the remaining three sandwiches.
   • Serve the Masala Omelette Pav Sandwiches immediately, preferably with a hot cup of masala chai.
