how to make Maharashtrian misal is a traditional recipe made very commonly in Maharashtrian households. Learn how to make
spicy Kolhapuri misal.
To make
misal, combine the safed vatana, soda, salt and 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker, mix well and pressure cook for 4 whistles. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Keep the safed vatana and the water aside. Do not drain. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds. Add the onions, ginger paste and garlic paste and sauté on a medium flame for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds powder, chilli powder, kashmiri red chilli powder, garam masala, goda masala and 1 tbsp of water, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Add the cooked safed vatana with its water, salt, and 1 more cup of water, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Just before serving pour ¼ of the misal in a serving bowl, sprinkle 2 tbsp of mixed farsan, 2 tbsp of onions and 1 tbsp of coriander evenly over it. Repeat step 7 to make 3 more servings. Serve immediately with laddi pavs and lemon wedges.
One of the best-ever favourite recipes served by Mumbai’s roadside eateries,
misal can even be considered a trademark dish of the city’s food scene! It is nice and spicy, and delivers the perfect pick-me-up effect. We have used only safed vatana here, as done by most eateries in Mumbai, but if you wish you can use mixed sprouts too.
The cooked vatana is combined with a tongue-tickling gravy of tomatoes, onions and spice powders like garam masala and goda masala, and a topping of assorted savouries to give it an exciting crunch to
spicy Kolhapuri misal.
Served with
laddi pav,
Maharashtrian misal can be enjoyed for
breakfast,
dinner or as a
snack at any time of the day. You can also try other misal and usal recipes like
Moong Dahi Misal,
Farali Misal,
Malvani Vatana Usal and
Sprouted Vaal ki Usal.
Tips for
misal. 1. The vatana has to be soaked overnight. So plan for it in advance. 2.
Garam masala and
goda masala can be made at home to get an authentic flavour. 3. We have used a blend of Kashmiri chilli powder and chilli powder. Kashmiri chilli powder lends a nice red colour to the misal. But if you don’t have Kashmiri chilli powder, you can substitute it with chilli powder. 4. You can make the misal in advance, but assemble it just before serving.
