Recipe
1
Heat oil or ghee in a wide pan and add cumin seeds, letting them splutter.
2
Add finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent and golden brown.
3
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, cooking for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
4
Add chopped tomatoes along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.
5
Cook the masala mixture, mashing the tomatoes gently, until oil begins to separate from the sides.
6
Pour in half a cup of water to create a semi-thick, flavorful gravy base and bring it to a gentle simmer.
7
Place the slit pav buns directly into the simmering masala, pressing them gently so they absorb the rich flavors.
8
Flip the pav to coat both sides evenly with the spiced gravy until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
9
Garnish generously with fresh chopped coriander leaves.
10
Serve hot alongside a warm cup of spiced chai.
