Pork Chorizo Masala Pav Recipe

Simplest breakfast pork chorizo pav. Pakka street shake recipe. People who do not consume pork can try this same recipe with chicken chorizo or soya chorizo but taste is not the same. I personally enjoy the smoky flavors and tangy masala in chorizo.

Chorizo Pav Recipe Video

Ingredients:
10 Beads Chorizo 
1/2 Cup Onion 
1/2 Cup Tomato
1 Green Chilly
1/4 Tsp Each Chilly Powder, Turmeric Powder, Coriander Powder
Salt as per taste
Lime Juice Optional

Method:
Boil 2 cups water in a wok. 
Add the chorizo beads to the water allow to soak for 30 minutes.
Once the chorizo beads swell, using a scissor chop into tiny pieces and remove the threads.
Add the chopped chorizo back to the same water. 
To the chorizo add onion, tomato, chilly, chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder.
Adjust salt as per taste and place the wok back on low flame allow the excess moisture to evaporate completely and the chorizo to cook till well done.
If your in a hurry place the chorizo on medium flame.
Once the onion and tomato starts to form a masala the oil will separate. Gently press the spoon on chorizo to release more flavors in the masala and fry till desired consistency.

I like my chorizo masala slightly moist. Once the masala is done layer it inside a pav bun or serve with toast and enjoy 😉
