What is Misal Pav?
Misal Pav is a traditional Maharashtrian dish that combines a spicy curry made from sprouted lentils (commonly moth beans) topped with crunchy farsan (a mixture of fried savory items), finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, and a squeeze of lemon. It is served with pav (soft bread rolls), which are lightly buttered and toasted to perfection.
The dish is famous for its unique layering of textures and flavors – a spicy curry base, a crunchy topping, a refreshing tang from lemon, and soft pav that soaks up the masala beautifully. Every bite is a symphony of taste that leaves you craving for more!
The Recipe – How We Make It Authentic
At Amritsr Restaurant Bangkok, authenticity is our promise. Our chefs follow a traditional method to ensure every bowl of Misal Pav tastes just like it does in the streets of Pune or Kolhapur. Here’s a sneak peek into how it’s made:
- Sprouted Lentils Curry (Usal)
- We start with sprouted moth beans (or mixed sprouts) cooked in a blend of Indian spices like red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and goda masala for that authentic Maharashtrian touch.
- A rich onion-tomato base is slow-cooked to enhance the depth of flavors.
- The Rassa (Spicy Gravy)
- Misal is incomplete without its fiery, flavorful rassa. This thin, spicy gravy is what gives the dish its heat and punch. We prepare it with freshly ground spices, oil, and aromatic herbs to keep it traditional.
- Toppings that Matter
- Crispy farsan (Indian snack mixture) adds crunch.
- Finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, and a drizzle of lemon juice bring freshness.
- The Pav
- Our pav is butter-toasted on the tawa until golden and soft. Perfect to scoop up the masala!
