2. First, add chopped onions, chopped ginger, and garlic and fry until golden brown.
3. Then add chopped capsicum/bell pepper and continue to saute
4. Finally, add chopped tomato and fry untill soft
5. Create a well to add pav bhaji masala, chili powder and salt, add a little water and mash, cook the masala well
6. Scrape the masala to one side of the pan.
7. Add more butter to tawa pan
8. Cut the pav buns into half, toast them for a minute in the pan
9. Turn over and spread a generous amount of prepared masala on both the pav buns

Finally, garnish with chopped coriander/cilantro leaves and serve Masala Pav hot with sliced onions and a piece of lemon. Enjoy!
