How to Make Masala Pav

First, heat some butter or oil in a pan. Add finely chopped onions and fry until light pink. Add tomatoes and capsicum. When the vegetables soften slightly, add turmeric, red chili powder, pav bhaji masala, and salt, mixing well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spices begin to release their aroma.

Take the hot masala pav out onto a plate. Spread some more butter on top, garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. So, you see, how quickly this street food can be prepared in your kitchen. Next time you're craving something light, be sure to try this 'masala pav' and treat your family to it.
