Prepare the Chicken and Cheese Wada

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan. Sauté garlic, ginger, green chilies, and onions until the onions are golden brown.

Let the mixture cool slightly, then mix in fresh coriander and grated cheese.
Add besan (gram flour) to the cooled mixture. Add water if needed to form a thick batter-like consistency.
Shape small wadas (balls) from the mixture.
Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the wadas until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Make the Garlic Chutney

Roast garlic cloves, red chilies, and desiccated coconut in a teaspoon of oil until fragrant.
Blend the mixture into a coarse powder. Add salt to taste.

Toast the Pav

Slit the pav buns in half.
Spread butter inside and toast lightly on a hot pan until golden.

Assemble the Chicken and Cheese Wada Pav

Spread a layer of garlic chutney on the inside of the pav.
Optionally, spread green chutney or tamarind chutney for extra flavor.
Place a hot chicken and cheese wada in the middle and press lightly.
Serve hot with fried green chilies and extra chutneys on the side.
