Misal

Misal Pav is a spicy street food available in Mumbai. It is also a popular maharashtrian snack.

  

Preparation and cooking

Step A Usal : I used matki ( brown moth beans) to make this usal. However one can use white peas or white beans as you fancy. 

1. Add (3 tbspn) oil to a medium size saucepan. Add garlic and ginger paste (1 tspn). 

2. Then add finely chopped onion (1 nos), finely chopped tomatoes (1 nos)  and curry leaves ( 4-5 nos)

3. Add to the above mixture chilli powder (1 tbspn) , garam masala (1 tspn) and salt to taste.

4. Mix well and cook till the mixture secretes oil. 

5. Then add water (1 cup)  and immediately close the saucepan with a lid. Let the mixture simmer for 1 minute. Oil will now separate to the top.

6. Then add boiled matki ( 1 cup, soak matki in water overnight and then in the morning boil them), lemon juice ( 4 tbspn) and chopped coriander ( 1 tbspn) 

7. Let the mixture cook for 5 minutes. Usal is ready.

Step B :

8. Take some usal in a serving bowl, add bombay mix or farsan to it and garnish with chopped onion, coriander and curd.

9. Serve hot with pav or bread.
