Assemble the Sandwich
Repeat and Serve
Place a slice of processed cheese (like Amul) or a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella on the omelette just before folding it. The heat will melt the cheese perfectly.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum), mushrooms, or grated carrots to the egg mixture for added nutrition and crunch.
Spread a teaspoon of Schezwan sauce inside the toasted pav before placing the omelette for a fiery Indo-Chinese flavor.
Substitute the regular pav with whole wheat pav or whole wheat bread slices for a healthier, fiber-rich option.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The combination of carbohydrates from the pav and protein and fats from the egg provides a balanced source of energy to start your day or as a midday snack.
This dish includes onions, tomatoes, and coriander, which contribute essential nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and antioxidants that support immune health.
One Masala Omelette Pav Sandwich contains approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the amount of butter used and the size of the pav and eggs.
It can be a balanced meal. Eggs provide high-quality protein, and the vegetables add vitamins. To make it healthier, use whole wheat pav, minimize the butter, and load it with more vegetables.
This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Making it ahead can result in a soggy pav and a rubbery omelette. However, you can chop the vegetables in advance to save time.
If pav is unavailable, you can use soft dinner rolls, burger buns, or even two slices of regular bread to make a classic masala omelette sandwich.
The key to a fluffy omelette is incorporating air. Whisk the eggs vigorously for at least 45 seconds just before pouring them into the pan. Using room temperature eggs also helps.
Absolutely! A slice of cheese, like Amul or cheddar, is a popular addition. Place it on the omelette right before you fold it in half so it melts inside.
