Being Nasikites we love our special Nashikchi Misal. The ingredients, which basically comprise an Usal, Tarri (the spicy curry) and the garnish of sev, chiwda, farsan, onions, fresh coriander arranged in three layers and served with a wedge of lemon. Basically It is very spicy, so you can have curd with it. In Winter or Rainy Days this is our popular Brunch on Sunday. Old people says that if you are suffering from cold, you have to eat this hot & spicy Misal as a Medicine.

Procedure
For Usal
Wash Matki and keep it in a large bowl. Add 2 cups of water and cover it with lead. Soak the seeds for about 10 hours. Then drain out water, rinse it with fresh water and again drain it. Now transfer it to a sprout maker or else tie it tightly in a smooth cotton cloth for 8- 10 hrs.
In a kadai heat oil, put mustard seeds, turmeric powder. Add chopped onion and saute it for two minutes. Add sprouted matki, red chilly powder, goda masala and salt. Pour some water and after kepping lead cook it for some time. Usal is ready.
For Tarri
Fry onion, coconut, garlic, ginger and tomato in little oil separately. Cool it for some time. Grind to a fine paste in mixer. Now in another pan, heat oil then add sugar (for the red oily layer on gravy), Turmeric powder, red chilly powder and immediately add grinded paste, kala masala , kanda lasun masala and salt. Saute it for 2 minutes . Now you will feel nice aroma. Pour 3 cups of hot water so that taste of the gravy will remain same . Bring it to boil for 2 minutes. The Tarri is ready. ( In some places of Maharashtra it is called as Kat, Rassa or Sample)
Serving Misal Pav
Original method of serving Misal is Take a Large Bowl, Add 2 table spoon matki usal, Pour tarri on it. Then add 2 table spoon of farsan, 2 table spoon Sev (in some areas adds one layer of kande pohe), 1 Table spoon chopped onion, Chopped coriander, a wedge of lemon & fresh curd. Serve it with Pav.
But when we make Misal at home I generally prefer to give every thing in separate bowls (as shown in picture), so that every one can mix all the items according to their tastes.
This is for "Sunday Snacks - Hot n Spicy"
and to Trupti's "'Winter Treat Event '

In Nasik, there are various joints for Misal. they all have their own different style of preparing the dish. There is Tushar, Krishna Vijay(ST Colony, Gangapur road), Shamsundar, etc. but one unique joint is Ambika near Panchwati... The serve misal in dark (almost blackish) gravy. Though my fav joint is Krishna Vijay...i have been a regular for years!
Hey that's one terrific receipe. Being a 'nashikkar', I'm in love with the misal at Tushar, Ambika, and Krishna Vijay joints. Have tasted misal in mumbai and pune too, but nothing beats these 3 joints. Good going!!!
