Maharashtrian Style Misal Paav

Misal Pav is the most popular Maharashtrian breakfast dish topped with onions, tomatoes, farsan, sev and lemon juice on top of it.

The dish sounds so interesting...😋 the same way it's going to taste too. This dish is a treat for all those foodies who love spicy, tangy, spices and flavours. I can personally eat this dish anytime in a day, just love it. I had this dish 3 years back for the very first time and always had a craving to eat it next time again, every time. 

NOTE:- This dish can be modified to suit every individual's level of heat (spiciness)
