Description

Though me being a great foodie and my life revolves around food , there are so many authentic Indian recipes that I am not aware of. The mighty misal pav is one dish. A few months back , a fellow gym mate of mine mentioned about it as she is from Mumbai. I didn’t know head or tail of what this dish might be like. She explained to me in detail with both of us walking in the treadmill. The garnishing with farsha ( mixture) excited me. Gave it a try the next day for breakfast with my friends recipe. Awesome taste with layers of textures was tasty and a new addition to my breakfast menu’s at home.
