• 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (softened; adds richness to garlic butter)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheese & Capsicum Filling

   Dice the boiled (or thawed) green bell pepper, shred the mozzarella, dice the processed cheese, then combine them in a mixing bowl with red chili flakes and salt. Mix well until evenly distributed.

   Time: PT5M

2. Make the Garlic‑Oil Butter

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp water in the skillet over low flame. Add red chili flakes and dried oregano, stir for 1‑2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook another 2‑3 minutes, keeping the flame low so the garlic doesn’t burn. Finish by stirring in chopped cilantro, then remove from heat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: low flame

3. Slice the Pav

   Place each pav on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut horizontally about three‑quarters of the way through, leaving a hinge so the roll stays together.

   Time: PT2M

4. Stuff the Pav with Filling

   Open each sliced pav and spoon the cheese‑capsicum mixture inside, spreading it evenly. Add extra shredded mozzarella on top if you like extra cheesiness.

   Time: PT3M

5. Cook the Garlic Bread on the Stovetop

   Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet and heat over low flame. Place the stuffed pavs in the pan, drizzle the prepared garlic‑oil mixture over each, and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 5‑6 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the bottom is golden. If desired, brush a little extra garlic‑oil on top before serving.

   Time: PT6M

   Temperature: low flame

6. Serve

   Transfer the hot cheesy garlic bread to a serving plate, give it a final brush of garlic‑oil, and enjoy immediately.

   Time: PT1M
