Here Are 5 Ingredients You'll Need To Make Misal Pav At Home:
1. Moth Beans
Moth beans, also known as matki, are the main ingredient in misal pav. It's impossible to make this dish without them. These beans are sprouted and then cooked in a flavourful and spicy curry. They add a nice crunchy texture to it as well as boost its nutrient quotient.
2. Tomatoes
Almost all curry-based Indian dishes require the use of tomatoes, and misal pav is no exception. Tomatoes help enhance the overall flavour of the dish and add tanginess to it. Apart from tomatoes, make sure to also buy onions, ginger, garlic, and coriander leaves.
3. Masalas
If you do not wish to have a tasteless misal pav, make sure to stock your pantry with all the essential masalas. These include red chilli powder, garam masala, haldi, jeera, coriander powder, and salt. You can also buy tamarind and curry leaves for additional flavour.

4. Pav
Pav is the second-most essential component of this dish. The feeling of biting into a soft pav dipped in spicy misal gravy is just irresistible. Buy fresh pav buns and make sure to get some butter as well. Spread a generous amount of butter on the pavs and enjoy!
5. Sev
Garnishing helps give a final touch to the dish. For misal pav, sev is the most preferred option, as it adds a nice crunch texture to it. You can also top it with chopped onions, tomatoes, and a dash of lemon juice.
