Misal pav is a dish from the Indian state of Maharashtra. It consists of misal (a spicy curry usually made from moth beans) and pav (a type of Indian bread roll). The final dish is topped with farsan or sev, onions, lemon and coriander. It is usually served hot with bread or rolls toasted with butter and buttermilk or dahi and papad. It is served as a breakfast dish, as a snack and also as a full meal.
Misal pav from Kolhapur is known for its high spice content and unique taste. There are different versions of misal pav such as Pune misal, Khandeshi misal, Nashik misal and Ahmednagar misal. Other types are kalya masalyachi misal, shev misal, and dahi (yoghurt) misal.
