Ingredients

  • 4 pav (or dinner rolls)
  • 4 samosa (medium to large-sized)
  • 1 small bowl Green Chutney
  • 1 small bowl Tamarind Chutney
  • 1 tablespoon dry red chilli garlic chutney (– optional)

Method

  1. Firstly assemble all the ingredients – 4 pav, 4 medium to large samosa, 1 small bowl green chutney, 1 small bowl sweet tamarind chutney and 1 tablespoon dry garlic chutney.
  2. Slice the pav in half without breaking it.
  3. Spread some green chutney on both the sides as required.
  4. Now spread some sweet tamarind chutney on both sides as required.
  5. Sprinkle some garlic chutney on one side or both sides.
  6. Slightly flatten the samosa and place it in the pav.
