    Kolhapuri Misal Pav is one of the addictive street food from Maharashtrian Cuisine . Misal is a spicy curry made with sprouted moth beans , topped with farsan , onions and served with pav and kat ( a spicy red curry ) . Kolhapuri cuisine is famous for its fiery, super hot meals and this too is not different. In spite of wiping your nostrils and eyes you will enjoy devouring this meal.

    I was introduced to this fiery meal a decade before by a friend in Pune .She took me to a college canteen and ordered 2 plates of Misal Pav . Within minutes we were served with 2 plates of pav, a sprouted lentil curry topped with farsan , onions , lemon wedges and a katori of red curry . I was wondering on how to eat this ....., soon my friend smiled and asked me to pour some red gravy on sprouted lentils. Took a small piece of pav dipped it in a gravy and took a spoonful of lentils together with chopped onions and crunchy farsan . I just followed her and after that , I was actually lost for few minutes. OMG , It tasted amazingly good with bursting flavours . Since then , till date my love for Kolhapuri Misal Pav continues.

    After lot many trails and changes , I have settled with this recipe for Kolhapuri Misal Pav . Its a fail proof recipe , you can get authentic Kolhapuri Misal / Usal taste from this . I have altered this recipe to suit my taste but incase if you want fiery super hot kat then you can go ahead adding more chilli powder 🙂 . Though there are many steps and images , it's easy to make, hence go ahead , make it and enjoy. You can also serve Kolhapuri Misal Pav without Kat Curry also , but just make sure to make Misal curry bit thinner , in that case.

    Other popular recipes from Maharashtrian Cuisine on blog are Sabudana Khichdi , Sabudana Vada , Pav Bhaji and Kolhapuri Egg Masala.
