What’s Cooking India?  It’s Kolhapuri Misal Pav Recipe. It is one of the Maharashtrian’s Street food Breakfast Recipe.

It is super spicy in taste and served with Indian Bread (Pav). The level of spice depends on you. If you don’t like spicy taste, then add less red chili powder than the amount mentioned.

This recipe is not paused only for breakfast, but you can also cook this for your lunch and dinner as well.

Traditionally, Matki (Moth Beans) was used to cook Misal Pav. Now, any sprout can be used to prepare a Kolhapuri Misal Pav recipe.

Misal is always a thinner version of curry. This is because, of the farsan that is added at the last. It soaks up the liquid from the Missal Pav.

You can also use unsprouted beans. This will help save your soaking time of the beans.
