Method

Wash the herbs

Rinse the Coriander Leaves and Green Chillies under cold water, then pat them dry so the filling stays bright and not watery.

Chop the aromatics

Peel and very finely mince the Garlic until it is almost paste-like. Chop the green chillies a little more if they are still chunky, and chop the coriander leaves so they blend smoothly into the butter.

Mix the filling

In a bowl, mash 3 tbsp of the Butter with the garlic, green chillies, a pinch of Chili Flakes, a pinch of Oregano, and the chopped coriander until you have a thick, fragrant spread.

Stuff the pav

Open the Pav along the cut seam like a hinge, spread the garlic butter all the way to the edges, and tuck in the Mozzarella Cheese generously. In a small cup, whisk the remaining butter with Water until it loosens, then brush a thin coat over the outside of the pav so it will brown evenly.

Heat the pan

Set a skillet or tawa over medium-low heat, add about 2 tbsp of the Oil, and swirl it so the base is lightly coated and ready for toasting.

Toast the bread

Lay the stuffed pav in the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes on the first side, pressing very gently with a spatula so the bread makes full contact. Flip carefully, cook for 2 minutes more, and cover the pan for 1 minute to finish melting the cheese.
