Toast the Pav
Assemble and Serve
Add a slice of cheese (like Amul) on top of the omelette just before folding it. The residual heat will melt the cheese perfectly.
Instead of an omelette, make a spicy scrambled egg (bhurji) with the same ingredients and stuff it inside the toasted pav.
Add a teaspoon of Schezwan sauce to the egg mixture for a spicy, Indo-Chinese twist.
For a more filling meal, use two eggs per pav but make a larger, single omelette to stuff inside.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The carbohydrates from the pav provide a quick and accessible source of energy, making Anda Pav an ideal breakfast or snack to fuel your day.
This dish provides essential nutrients like Vitamin D and B12 from eggs, antioxidants from tomatoes and onions, and iron.
One Anda Pav contains approximately 350-450 calories, depending on the size of the eggs and the amount of butter used. It's a substantial and energy-dense snack.
Anda Pav can be a part of a balanced diet. It's a great source of protein from the eggs. To make it healthier, you can use whole wheat pav, reduce the amount of butter, and add more vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the omelette.
The most authentic choice is 'Ladi Pav', which are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet bread rolls sold in clusters. If unavailable, any soft dinner roll or slider bun can be a good substitute.
It's best to make the mixture fresh. If you prepare it too far in advance, the salt will draw water out from the onions and tomatoes, making the mixture watery and affecting the omelette's texture.
To increase the heat, you can add more finely chopped green chilies, increase the red chilli powder, or add a pinch of black pepper powder to the egg mixture.
This could be due to a few reasons. Ensure your pan is non-stick and well-greased. Don't make the omelette too large or thin. Wait for the bottom to be fully set and golden before attempting to flip it.
