    About Misal Pav Recipe

    Misal pav  is a popular dish from Maharashtra, India. It consists of misal (a spicy curry usually made from moth beans) and pav (a type of Indian bread roll). The final dish is topped with farsan or sev, onions, lemon and coriander (cilantro). It is usually served with bread or rolls toasted with butter and buttermilk or curd and papad. It is served as a breakfast dish, as a snack and also as a full meal.

    Misal pav is a popular Indian dish from the state of Maharashtra. It is made up of misal (a spicy curry made from moth beans) and pav (a type of Indian bread roll). Farsan or sev, onions, lemon, and coriander are sprinkled on top of the finished dish (cilantro). It is typically served hot with toast with butter and buttermilk or dahi and papad. It can be eaten for breakfast, as a snack, or as a full meal.

    What is Misal Pav

    Misal Pav benefits include being protein-rich, fiber-rich, and nutritious due to its unique ingredient combination. But here are a few facts about this eclectic dish that you probably didn't know: It is a popular Indian delicacy from the Maharashtra region. Its a fiery curry made with moth beans or simply misal.

    This is the first time i am making it and i would say it is quite delicious. Normally they make it little different. The gravy would have lots of oil floating on top. But since we are making it at home we can reduce it considerably.

    Normally they use goda masala in this. But still i don't have that i used normal spices which we have to make this. It is easy as well. This makes a whole meal by itself. Very nutritious too.

    I would call this as indian chilli without meat. This is perfect when served hot with some pav on the side.

    Ingredients for Misal Pav Recipe 

    Moong Sprouts 

    Moong Sprouts are not the same as Soybean Sprouts. Mung bean sprouts are the thin, edible shoots that sprouted mung beans produce. They have a crunchy texture and a subtly sweet flavour and can be eaten raw or slightly cooked. They're most commonly found in Asian cooking.

    Turmeric Powder 

    The turmeric root is quite bitter, but has an almost citrusy taste, compared to the powder. Turmeric also has something of a sweet taste, and it is quite earthy. When you use the powder, you're unlikely to notice the texture unless you use a substantial amount, but it is somewhat gritty.

    Pav Buns 

    Pav buns or pao are essentially small loaves of bread introduced to India by the Portuguese. Pavs are always made commercially with maida or all-purpose flour.
