Misal means “mixture” in Marathi and if you are in Mumbai, you definitely should not miss this treat!

It’s a nice combination of curry with farsan served with bread.

Tips:

• You can use any sprouted beans as per your choice, like Moong, Peas, etc…

• If you don’t have goda masala, it can be replace by garam masala.

• If you don’t have Kashmiri red chili powder, you can use regular red chili powder/paprika. I used Kashmiri chili powder because it makes curry more colorful and less spicy than regular one.

• If you’re using regular red chili powder use less quantity than Kashmiri red chili powder.
