Misal Pav with Homemade Pav Buns Recipe

December 21, 2012 By Sangeetha Priya 34 Comments

Misal Pav with Homemade Pav Buns | Popular Indian Street Food

Misal pav is a Maharastrian street food popular countrywide which is very healthy and nutritiuos. Pav is a Maharastrian word which means small loaf bun and Misal means spicy curry made with any dried beans/Peas and masala. So Misal pav is the combo of Pav bun, Misal/Gravy/Curry garnished with Mixture/Savory and chopped onions/coriander leaves. You can use store bought Buns and fried Savory snack too, but I did everything at home the Pav buns/Mixture/Farsan/Curry etc. After all this work I really satisfied with the taste and my little daughter enjoyed it much. She nowadays started saying “Yummy” when she really likes it and this recipe is one among it where I got appreciation from her :-). This recipe goes to SNC Challenge. Thanks Meena  for giving the Misal pav recipe in detail.  I got 2 Sunshine awards from my blogger friends thanks Asiya and Yasodha for sharing those awards. Now we will move on to the challenged recipe :-).

The Pav bun is similar to Dinner rolls. But as I am doing for the very first time I referred few blogs  for yeast proportion. To my knowledge each recipe has different yeast quantity for the same flour measurement, so I finally added my own. Today I applied only milk over the top of the buns, no egg in it.

For Pav Bun
APF/Maida or Bread Flour – 3 Cups
Active Dry Yeast – 2and1/4tsp (updated)
Butter – 3 Tbsp
Salt – 3/4tsp
Sugar – 2tsp (if the yeast is not of good quality then raise the sugar level to 2.5tsp to 1 Tbsp, sugar helps a lot for the breads to proof well)
Lukewarm Water + Milk – 1 Cup (or more as needed, each 1/2 cup)

Yields – 6 Buns as shown in the Old Picture below…Recently i have made with 4 cups flour and I got 8 buns and i used 9X11 inch cake pan for that also i covered the sides of the bun with wrapped aluminum foil so to buns raise top wards instead of sidewise as shown in recent pictures…

Learn to make Misal Pav From Scratch

  • Warm the milk + water, dissolve salt, sugar n yeast, leave it in warm temperature till its frothy.
  • Make a well in the dough add this yeast mixture and mix well.
  • Melt the butter in microwave or stove top once melted add this to the dough mixture (be sure the butter is not so hot).
  • If needed add more milk/water/salt and make a very flexible, soft dough.
  • Leave the covered dough in warm place for 1hour.
  • Now the dough increases in size (Pic 1), punch it down n make equal big lemon size balls out of it.
  • Grease a loaf pan/rectangular cake pan with butter n flour, then place rolled balls (Apply milk over top)  as shown in Pic 2.
  • Leave it in room temperature by covering with cling flim for another 45mins.
  • For every 15 mins open and apply milk to get soft and light brown bun.
  • After 45mins (Pic 3) preheat the oven to 375° F, bake the for 12-15 minutes or till the top turns brown n sides leave from the pan (Pic 4).
  • After taking out from oven immedialtely apply butter.
  • Now your pav buns are ready :-).

Spicy Curry/Gravy
During the dough fermentation you can make the gravy for misal pav but don’t forget to soak the peas atleast 8hrs before starting this process. Today I had really pale red tomatoes, For kids sake I hv not added neither more red chilli powder nor artificial colors, otherwise u get a good color.

To fry and grind
Onion – 1 Big size
Tomato – 1 big size
Oil – 1 n 1/2 Tbsp
Coconut – 1/3 cup
Red Chili – 1 Number or more
Roughly chopped ginger – Small piece
Garlic – 5 to 6 Numbers

Other Ingredients
Oil – 3 Tbsp
Cinnamon n Cloves powder – 1tsp
Cumin Powder – 1tsp
Red Chili Powder –  1tsp
Garam Masala Powder – 1tsp
Dry Mango Powder/Chaat Masala Powder – 1tsp
Turmeric – 1/4tsp
Salt n Water – As Required

How to make Misal

  • Pressure cook the soaked Yellow Peas for 2 whistles with necessary salt n water (Pic 1).
  • Heat 1 n 1/2 tbsp oil add onion, tomato, red chilli, ginger, garlic saute well, finally add coconut (Pic 2), when cooled grind to fine paste.
  • Heat remaining oil add the paste saute well for 2-3mins then add all powders, required water (Use the Peas water too) n cook till gravy gets thickened.
  • Finally add boiled Peas, check salt n cook in medium flame till oil floates on top (Pic 4).
  • Can add few drops of lemon juice now, but anyways going to add at the final garnishing part.
If you are making it for a party then for a medium aluminum tray of 2, Use either 9×13 inch pan or 10×15 inch pan twice, i have one pan of each size so i used both for baking 8 cups of flour…Just follow the recipe with 4 cups of flour that will fit in each pan also for party just reduce the bun size I forget the actual size may be each bun weighs12-14gms…

How to Prepare Farsan Mixture and Other Ingredients to serve for Misal pav

For Farsan mixture (Can go for store bought too)
Peanuts – 1/2 Cup
Whole Lentils – 1/4 Cup
Plain Sev (Omapodi) – 1/2 Cup
Finely Chopped Onion – 1/2 Cup
Kaara Boondhi – 1/2 Cup
Other sevs or savory items – 1/4 Cup (I used Milagu Kaara Sev)
Lemon Wedges – As Needed

Method

  • Dry roasted the peanuts n lentils(soaked/parcooked) then add little oil and fry till golden brown (do both separately Pic 1).
  • Check out the stepwise Plain sev/Omapodi n Milagu Kaara Sev recipes.
  • Mix all savory items n keep everything ready as shown in Pic 3.
  • Before serving mix the snacks with gravy we made and garnish with chopped onions, squeeze lemon juice over it n serve with hot pav bun :-).
