Some Interesting facts about Easy Homemade Masala Pav :-

The spicy masala filling is typically a savory, tangy mixture sautéed on a large flat griddle (tawa). The base usually consists of finely chopped onions, tomatoes, and capsicum (bell pepper), cooked down with a generous amount of butter and a blend of Indian spices, most prominently Pav Bhaji Masala. On the tawa, butter coats the split pav buns, which then toast until they soak up the flavorful masala mixture. The hot, spicy vegetable gravy then fills and tops the buns. Garnish Masala Pav immediately with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) and a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice for a burst of tanginess.
