Masala pav recipe | How to make street style masala pav

Masala pav recipe with video – Masala pav is one of the well known and widely eaten delicious street foods of India. Onion tomato masala is stuffed & topped over butter toasted pav, an Indian bun usually made of white flour. For hygiene reasons, I prefer to prepare these at home as my kids keep asking me for them. Making masala pav at home is one of the easiest tasks as there is not much of preparation or cooking involved.

These are good to enjoy as a evening snack or brunch with some side dishes. I made these masala pav sometime ago on a weekend for our brunch along with dahi vada and Sev puri.
