When it comes to Indian street food, pani puri and vada pao may take the top spot in the popularity index, but misal pav is not far behind. A complete meal, misal pav features a spiced vegetable-and-sprouts curry (misal) with buttered bread rolls (pao). Commonly found in Maharashtra, this dish is incomplete without the crunchy topping of farsan or thick sev. With this misal pav recipe, you can recreate this spicy, crunchy street food at home.
