Misal Pav
🍲

Kolhapur's version of misal is famous for being fiery enough that some stalls warn first-timers before serving it, while Pune's tends to run milder and thicker — the same dish changes character by the city.
A curry of sprouted moth beans is simmered in a fiery, oil-slicked masala, then topped with crunchy farsan, chopped onion, and a squeeze of lime, and served alongside a stack of soft pav rolls for scooping and dunking. Roadside misal stalls across Maharashtra serve it as a hearty breakfast or anytime meal.
Why it's made this way: Misal pav is considered one of Maharashtra's defining dishes, with regional rivalries between Pune, Kolhapur, and Nashik styles over whose version is spicier or more authentic.
