Misal/ Moong or Mooth Sprout Curry


 
Misal is a delicacy from the Central part of India, and is very famous in Mumbai. It is a hot, spicy and pungent curry made with Moong or Mooth Sprouts cooked with onions, garlic, chillies and tomatoes in a gravy. It is served with Coriander/mint chutney, natural yogurt, Bombay mix/Varsaan and with a local bread called as Pav on the side. It is one of the most commonly eaten breakfasts in the central parts of India but it also makes a great anytime snack. This humble dish Misal Pav was awarded the worlds tastiest vegetarian dish from the Foodie hub Global Award of 2015 in London.

Samosas with a twist


Samosa is one such thing which got the most famous as Indian food is concerned. I haven't met anyone who doesn't like a somosa or can even resist it. 

Samosa is a deep fried Indian snack. It is mostly in a triangular form and it can be filled with either potatoes and peas or there are also non vegetarian versions available. I make it  the vegetarian version and not the deep fried one but the backed one. This one is super simple to make. You can take either the store bought puff pastry or you can even take the spring roll sheets from the asian stores.
