Misal Paav

Is a very famous Maharastrain snack. Long time since i have made this at home. So prepared especially for my husband. He likes all Maharastrain and few Andhra dishes.

Misal paav is nothing like karnataka's (kaalu saru) sprouts sambar. Just a little bit of change the masala and adding onions into the misal, You can have it along with buns (paav) butter fried. I have used the Maharashtrian Goda Masala for this.
