Misal pav



One of the most famous of Maharashtrian recipes, Misal is a scrumptious cocktail of savories and sprouts! Wholesome and tasty sprouts are cooked with tangy tomatoes and pungent onions, not to forget the spice powders and the special coconut-onion based misal masala! All of this is further enhanced with chivda, potatoes and other appropriate ingredients to make a sumptuous accompaniment for laddi pav. The best part about Misal is that it suits breakfast, dinner and any other time you wish to have it.

This is our 144th #Foodiemonday Bloghop event, and we are back with #Maharashtriancuisine. Here contributing this recipe of Misal Pav which I adopted from Tarla Dalal's recipe. Check out the recipe below and enjoyy the flavor of maharashtra.
