After spreading the butter, sprinkle a layer of grated mozzarella or Amul cheese on top. While toasting the buttered side, cover the pan with a lid for a minute to help the cheese melt.
Add 1 finely chopped green chili to the butter mixture for an extra kick of heat and fresh flavor.
Substitute coriander with finely chopped parsley or add a teaspoon of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) for a different flavor profile.
Replace the salted butter with vegan butter or a good quality olive oil to make this recipe plant-based.

Yes. For an oven, preheat to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. For an air fryer, cook at 180°C (350°F) for 4-5 minutes. The tawa method gives a unique, slightly softer texture on one side which many people enjoy.
Your heat is likely too high. Minced garlic can burn very quickly. Reduce the heat to medium-low to allow the bread to toast and turn golden brown without burning the garlic and butter.
