Misal Pav(1)

A typical Maharashtrian dish, Missal Pav is very famous. This delicious food is one of the popular street foods available in Mumbai. And of course anywhere in Maharashtra. Unlike the other street foods Pani Puri, sev puri etc. missal pav is a full snack that can be eaten for lunch or dinner.

Missal in its original form is prepared using ginger-garlic, onion and other spices.  Basically, it has two parts; a thick curry of matki (sprout) called Usal and a watery and spicy curry known as “kat”. Normally people mix these two according to their taste and requirement.
