Kolhapuri Misal

February 26, 2017 by Pranay Singh 5 Comments

Kolhapuri Misal

Kolhapuri Misal is a dish that can be attributed to having attained a cult following in the Kolhapuri cuisine and has planted this regional cuisine firmly on the world map. A spicy curry of moth beans served with onions, farsan and relished with pav (soft bread roll)-this dish is a popular breakfast dish served in restaurants serving Maharashtrian food.

Having shared the recipe of Kanda Lasun Masala, it is now time for us to share some authentic recipes from Kolhapuri cuisine. This week we start with Misal Pav- a prominent dish on my list of breakfast recipes.

Typically the curry is made with Moth beans (known as matki in regional language). These beans are soaked for around 8-10 hours, and then water is drained out. These soaked beans are then tied in a muslin cloth and stored in a warm place which provides a conducive environment forKolhapuri Misal sprouting. The other important ingredients beside onions and tomatoes are chili powder and Kanda Lasun Masala. Personally, I prefer the Misal to be fiery red in color and taste and I add jwari mirchi powder (or a spicy red chili powder). However, if you prefer a lesser spicy variant of the curry, Kashmiri chili can be added for its properties of producing fiery red color and for being less spicy. Kanda Lasun masala is an important ingredient of Kolhapuri cuisine and is added to the misal recipe. You can find many such regional spice mixtures (masalas) here.

The dish is served with the cooked matki topped with onions and farsan. A bowl of spicy curry also known as rassa, tari or kat is served at the sides. It is relished with Pav (soft bread rolls).

Prepare this classic Kolhapuri dish and have a spicy beginning to your day.

        How is Kat/Tarri prepared? Is it just the gravy served in a separate bowl or is it something different?

    All recipes of Kolhapuri misal online were without Kanda lasun masala.

    Dont know why I didn’t come here directly.

    Will try this soon.

    Why is there no “garam” element here

      Thanks Rahul for stopping by 🙂 Kolahapuri Kanda Lasun masala itself is an amalgamation of Onion , garlic, coconut and whole spices, hence no need of additional ” GARAM” element here to make your Misal zesty 🙂
