Increase the number of green chilies or add 1/4 teaspoon of regular red chili powder along with the Kashmiri chili powder for more heat.
Sprinkle a generous amount of grated processed or mozzarella cheese over the top during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan to let it melt.

It can be a part of a healthy diet. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential nutrients. However, the dish is traditionally made with a generous amount of butter and oil, which increases its fat and calorie content. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of butter and oil used.
One serving of Amritsari Tawa Egg (without any bread) contains approximately 320-380 calories, depending on the amount of butter and oil used. The eggs contribute most of the protein, while the fats come from the butter and oil.
While traditionally served with soft pav, this dish pairs wonderfully with hot chapatis, parathas, or even slices of toasted sourdough or multigrain bread.
Pav Bhaji Masala gives this dish its unique street-food flavor. If you don't have it, you can substitute it with a mix of 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, and 1/4 tsp amchur (dry mango powder), but the taste will be different.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water if it seems too dry. Avoid microwaving as it can make the eggs rubbery.
