Misal Pav is a popular Maharashtrian dish which is made of misal (a moth bean curry) and served with pav. It is usually served for breakfast or as a snack but can also be served for lunch or dinner. Misal Pav has different variations and is served in different styles all over Maharashtra. However, I am sharing the simple, easy and less spicy version which will definitely be liked by all.
Now, let me share a few tips and suggestions to make delicious misal pav. First, to get the authentic misal pav, add more oil and cook them till the oil floats on top of the misal. Second, I have prepared a less spicy version of misal pav, but you can increase the amount of chilli powder to make it more spicier. Third, the curry can also be made by a combination of sprouts like moth, moong, peas etc. In that case the curry is known as usal and it would taste equally awesome. Finally, add the mixture right before serving or else they might turn soggy and would not taste great.
