Misal Pav is a popular dish from Mumbai, India. It consists of Misal, spicy gravy usually made by sprouted matki and served along with buns and topped with poha, farsan, chopped onion, tomatoes and lemon wedges. It is usually served as snack or street food.. It is a complete meal. To prepare misal commonly matki or moth beans are used but for more variation, sometimes whole green grams or chickpeas are also used.
To serve maharashtrian misal pav recipe traditionally is first place the mooth in plate, after that pour the spicy red colored gravy on the top and garnish with poha, farsan, onion, coriander and lemon wedges. I love this curry … even you can use or serve this curry with steam rice… It is the best way to consume leftover curry.
Misal from Maharashtra, West India known for its high spice content and is particularly known as “Misal Pav”. There are different versions of Misal Pav such as Kolhapuri Misal, Nashik Misal, Khandeshi Misal, Nagpuri Misal and Puneri Misal, ; the first part indicating the regional-origin on the misal. Other types are Kalya Masalyachi Misal, Shev-misal, and Dahi (yoghurt) Misal.
