  1. Thanks for this amazing recipe, now I can prepare one of my favourite Mumbai street foods at home, without any fuss.5 stars

  2. Hi Dassana

    Smitha here.

    Thank you for the recipes. This is my go to website for any vegetarian dishes.

    Tried misal yesterday and it was yummy.

    Had to experiment a bit though since I didn’t get stone flower.
    I roasted the garam masala powder with the dessicated coconut and sesame seeds. Not too authentic I guess but it worked.My husband loved it.

    Also made bharli vangi with the same masala instead of goda masala and it came out well.

    Do keep cooking and posting such delicious recipes for us. ????4 stars

    1. hi smitha, thank you. both desiccated coconut and sesame seeds work wonderfully in misal and the taste is also good. stone flower has its own aroma that stands out in a curry or gravy or even biryani, but we have to do with ingredients that are easily available. thanks for sharing the variations you made and the rating too. yes i will be adding more recipe.

  16. Hi,

    Thanks for posting traditional misal pav recipe. I want to make it but if I don’t have goda masala, what alternative I can use? also can I skip adding kokum? If you can helpm e clearing these doubts, it would be very kind of you.

    Thanks

    1. welcome neha. skip goda masala and use garam masala. yes you can skip adding kokum and add tamarind pulp instead. quantity is mentioned in the ingredients list. if you do not have tamarind, then add 1 medium tomato. chop finely and saute after you saute ginger-garlic. saute till the tomatoes become pulpy and you see oil leaving the sides.

  17. I made this recipe…it was too good…
    But can u post the recipe of different variation of misal?

  18. Im a big fan of all ur recepies. What I like abt the recepie is they are step by step and u even add tips. There are many websites which publish various recepies but they are not so good. Ur recepie give the authentic taste to the food n most importantly have a restaurant style.4 stars

  27. Please can u tell me how to make goda masala please i want to make this recipe today or is it ok without goda masala

    1. i usually make a small batch of goda masala. i have not been able to click the pics and post the recipe. you can use garam masala instead of goda masala. about 1 tsp of garam masala will be fine. but the flavor and taste will alter.

      here’s a recipe which will give you a very small batch:
      for the goda masala:
      – 1.5 tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut
      – 1.5 tbsp white sesame seeds
      – 1 or 2 dry red chilies or byadagi red chilies
      – 1 small piece of stone flower/dagad phool (skip if you don’t have)
      – 1 tsp cumin seeds
      – 2 tsp coriander seeds
      – 2 to 3 cloves
      – 1 inch cinnamon
      – 1 small indian bay leaf/tej patta
      – ½ tsp caraway seeds/shah jeera
      – 3 to 4 black peppercorns
      – a pinch of asafoetida
      method:
      1. first dry roast all the spices except sesame seeds and desiccated coconut in a pan till they become aromatic.
      2. push them towards the sides of the pan. then add the sesame seeds and coconut. mix everything together and roast till the coconut becomes golden.
      let this mixture cool and then grind everything in a dry grinder or coffee grinder to a fine powder.
      3. store in a small jar and keep in the refrigerator.
