Misal Pav

Misal Pav is Maharashtra's most most popular breakfast dish.. My huuby before coming to Bangalore was settled in Mumbai. He asks me many times to cook Misal Pav. I was not knowing how to prepare it. So I googled various sites to know what exactly is Misal Pav.  and i came to know that it is a mixture of pulses , spicy gravy, Poha, , spoonful of dahi and garnish of onions, tomatoes, cilatro, farsan, chivada etc These things are arranged in multiple tier fashion and served. Pav/bread is also served along with misal.

The first Lever in Misal Pav is of  Matki/Moth beans Usal. Usal is basically sprouted beans The Second layer os of Allo ki sabji. This we can prepare according to our taste and requirements.

The 3^rd layer is of Poha followed by curry over it and lastly garnish it with Farshan, onion tomato ,coriander leaves,curd and again curry.

But what I have done as I am lazy person I didn’t prepare allo sabji  separately.But I added boiled potatoes in my gravy only. This gravy should not be very thick.This was my mistake. My huuby told me this your gravy is thick. It should be semi liquid.

Next time I will rectify my this mistake and will make it once again.
