After Saag Pizza, Misal Pizza Is The Latest Desi Experiment Haunting Foodies

This time, the topping is yet another popular Indian savoury dish: misal. This Maharashtrian delicacy - typically relished with pav - is a curry-like dish with veggies and beans. Wondering how this was transformed into a pizza topping?

In the video, we can see a person spreading a yellowish sauce on what looks to be a pizza base. They then sprinkle farsan, sev, matki (moth beans), coriander, onions and mozzarella cheese on top. They bake the pizza in the oven, cut it into equal pieces and then serve it to the customer. A side of misal "rassa" is provided with the pizza. According to the voiceover, this unique pizza can be found in Pune and costs Rs. 120. The X post contains a reel originally shared by @adis_food_voyage. Take a look at the complete video below:
