Misal Pav (Spicy curry with bread) is a traditional Indian dish sold in the streets of Mumbai, Pune and parts of Maharastra, India. It consists of spicy curry usually made of chick peas and chilly powder gravy. The final dish is topped with Punjabi mix or sev (Indian noodles), onions, lemon and coriander (cilantro). It is usually served with bread toasted with butter. The dish is inexpensive and a poor man's meal.

The best Misal Pav available is at Thane outside Mamledar Office. Usually the Pav served is a Bun Pav, but in Kolhapur it is a Sandwich bread. Puneri Misal, as name suggest from Pune is also tasty. Shree Datta Guru Snacks at Panvel delightfull Misal Pav. Misal Pav in Shree Datta Snacks Spot near Goregaon Station (East) is also very tasty

Dahi Batata Puri

Page 16: RECIPIES

Chaat is a broad term and it encompasses many dishes like Bhel, Pani Puri, Dahi Batata Puri, Ragda Pattice, Sev Puri. In Girgaon (Charni Road), there is famous Chaat-walla at Tarabaug (2 min walking distance from charni road station & my Hinduja college). All the chaat items served by him are mouth-watering. You will also love his masala puri, which he gives after you make payment. There is also a little khao galli near Madhavashram Lane which is not so famous. However, the Dahi Batata Puri and pani puri, you get is amazing.

Dahi Batata Puri comes 5 – 6 puris per plate.The ingredients used are similar to Sev Batata Puri. However, the basic difference between these two chaats is the shape of puris. The puris used for Dahi Batata puri are puffy while for Sev puri the puris are flat. Also, curd / yogut is not used in Sev Puri, which is one of the major ingredient used in Dahi Batata Puri.

Ingredients :1 packet puffed puris (used for pani-puri) (1 packet contain 50 puris)3-4 medium sized boiled potatoes1 finely chopped onion½ cup boiled sprouted moongDhana-jeera powderChaat masalaChilly powderGreen chutney (mint – corriander chutney)Red chutney (red chilly – garlic chutney)Sweet chutney (Tamarind, dates & jaggery chutney)Finely chopped corriander2 cups thick curd1 cup fine sev (bhelpuri sev)2 tspn Sugarsalt to taste

Preparation :Mash the boiled potatoes after removing the outer skin.Sprinkle red chilly powder and salt over the potatoes.

Beat the curd to remove its lumps.Add sugar and salt to the curd.

For Dahi Batata Puri:With the help of thumb, make a hole in the centre of the puffed puri.Arrange 5 to 6 puris in a plate.Stuff mashed potato, onion and boiled moong in each puri.Now pour red chutney, green chutney and sweet chutney in the puri.Now sprinkle chaat masala and dhana jeera powder over the puris.After that pour beaten curd over the purisLastly garnish it with sev and corriander.Serve immediately otherwise it will become soggy

Page 17: RECIPIES

Note :1. Some people also make Dahi batata puri with “Ragda”.2. Filing of soaked and drained “boondi” along with potato and moong also enhances the tastePosted by Amarendra at 4:33 AM 0 comments   Labels: Chowpatty Chaat, Evening Snacks

Vegetable Idli

Vegetable Idli is a very common recipe. Only variation made here is adding chopped vegetables in the batter, which will enhance the taste of our regular Idli.

The vegetables I have used are uncooked, however, you may saute the vegetables in oil before adding it to the batter. Further, ingredients like grated coconut, mushrooms, green-peas could also be added to this recipe. Further, chutney ingredients like ginger-garlic paste, mint leaves etc. could also be added to make it more spicy.

Ingredients3 cups rice1 cup split bengal gram (Urid Dal)2 cups of finely chopped mix vegetables(Carrot, Capcisum, sweet corn, etc.)1 tablespoon chopped corriander1- 2 finely chopped green chilliesOil for greasing2 teaspoons fruit salt (Eno)Salt to taste

Pani Puri

Rarely you will find a person who doesn’t like Pani Puri. This is an all-time favourite chaat item of everyone. Our trip to chowpatty would be incomplete without Pani-puri. It is also known as "Golgappa" in North and "Poochka" in East.

Stuffing of pani-puri could be either made up of potatoes, moong, boondi or ragda or combination of any of these. The taste of pani can be enhanced by serving it chilled.

Further, puris can be made at home also, but it makes the task a bit difficult. Hence, puris should be bought readymade.

Ingredients :Pani-puri Puris (A pack containing 50-100 puris)Dates-tamarind chutney1 cup boiled moong1 cup soaked and drained boondi (optional)2-3 boiled potatoes cut into small pieces & slightly mashed

Potato Wada (Batata Wada)

Page 25: RECIPIES

Potato wada, commonly known as batata wada is my all time favourite snack. Whenever potato bhaji is left over, we use to add ginger-garlic-chilly paste to it and make batata wadas out of the leftover bhaji. There are many ways to prepare it. In North, people add saunf to it, while in some southern parts Urad Dal or Onion are added while making the filling of wadas.

We too make it in a slightly different manner. First we prepare dry potato bhaji and add spices to make it more tasty for wadas. Here is the recipe.
