Cheese Masala Pav is a mouthwatering street food delicacy from India, particularly popular in Mumbai. It's made by slathering soft pav (bread rolls) with a spicy and tangy masala mixture, topped with generous amounts of grated cheese, and then toasted or baked until the cheese melts into oozy goodness.
The masala mixture typically includes onions, tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices such as pav bhaji masala, turmeric, and cumin. Sometimes, a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves is added to enhance the flavor.
Once assembled, the pav is heated until the cheese melts and the flavors meld together, resulting in a savory, cheesy, and utterly satisfying snack. It's often served hot with additional toppings like butter or chutney on the side.
