Usal Misal Pav is a famous street food of western part of India, especially Maharashtra. It’s a spicy combination where “Usal” refers to the thick curry of Moth bean and “Misal” refers to the combination of spices. It is very tasty and everyone like to eat it occasionally. I wanted to make the pav at home but couldn’t get the time but will surely make them sometime . For the final day of second week if BM#33 , this is my entry under Combo Platter . So let’s start the recipe . Yum
