    Misal pav recipe, Misal recipe

    February 10, 2021 by Raks Anand Leave a Comment / Jump to Recipe

    Misal pav is a popular dish from Maharashtra, made with moth beans / Spouts. The spicy gravy is served with pav.

    It's my long time wish to try misal at home. Every time I keep looking for recipe, the goda masala factor stops me from trying.

    Got this Organic moth beans from Wildseed-sg for trying and I wanted to try this for sure first.

    Before I get into the recipe, I saw lot of videos in the Youtube and so confused about the recipe and method.

    Finally took this as it was easy to adapt. So this may not be an authentic one, but tastes close to it.

    If I ever go to Pune again, I am trying Misal pav for sure. It sounds damn delicious the way they give in the streets.

    Mine is just an adapted version that goes well with pav. I saw in some videos from popular street food options, they even give you with bread slice.

    Other ways include different elements like aloo, poha, farsan, sev etc.

    When I saw the ingredients, I knew how it will taste, except for the spice powder used in this.

    The goda spice makes the difference. And if you are like me and imagining something like pav bhaji, no. It's nothing related.

    This is totally different kind of spicy gravy with coconut, chilli and coriander flavour along with the main goda.

    It is supposed to be thin as I see in the other videos they show from street foods. I guess I made a bit thick.

    I used Misal masala itself instead of Goda. But I guess it's almost similar.

    You can buy in groceries if you are in India. I got Swad brand from an online grocery shop in Singapore.

    Unlike garam masala, we use just a little in our recipes, this is supposed to be added more for the spicy, flavorful result.

    Moth bean sprouts

    • Wash moth beans firstly & soak for 10 hours minimum.
    • After that, change the water and add little fresh, say ½ to ¾ cup.
    • Leave it overnight covered and it will absorb all the liquid and already started sprouting in the morning.
    • Just toss and keep covered. It will continue to grow evenly. Just make sure to sprinkle liquid if it gets dry.
    • Moth sprouts ready!

    You can refrigerate after this and use as needed in the recipe.

    Love the fact that it is made with legume and a better option to make Aj eat such legumes/ sprouts.

    Notes

    • Adjust spice powders according to the level of spiciness you like. But the gravy is meant to be spicy and watery.
    • You can add tamarind juice to make it tangy. I skipped as my misal masala by itself was tangy.
