Misal pav · Mumbai

Sprout curry topped with farsan (crunchy fried mix), onion, coriander and lime, served with buttered pav. A Maharashtrian breakfast institution.

Misal originated in the Pune-Nashik belt as a working-class breakfast in the early 20th century, built around sprouted moth-bean curry with crunchy farsan on top. Mumbai adopted the pav-served version through the mill-worker era of the early 1900s, and today the city's Maharashtrian breakfast counters and South Bombay rooms still serve it daily with a wedge of lime and chopped onion.
