The world's tastiest vegetarian dish

Misal Pav, the delicious Maharashtrian snack served at Mumbai's Aaswad restaurant won the prize at the global Foodie Hub Awards in London.

Located in the heart of Dadar in central Mumbai, just a hop-skip-and-jump from the headquarters of the Maharashtrian right wing political party, Shiv Sena, Aaswad was inaugurated by the late Bal Thackeray in 1986.

Today, Aaswad serves some 400 plates of misal pav every day.


 

 Sarjoshi, Aaswad's owner who seems rather chuffed with this honour, tells us that it earns the restaurant about Rs 19,000 daily.

"Aaswad's misal is always fresh, the amount of spices added is perfect and the quality of the farsan is very good. It doesn't make you feel heavy because they don't use inferior oil," he says.

Besides misal, Aaswad is also famous for several other Maharashtrian dishes such as the thalipith, kothambir wadi, piyush and aam panna.

Then there is Vilas Taral who gives us a crash course in making the misal:

First moth beans, garlic and onions are boiled in water along with curry leaves.

Add grated coconut and misal masala and continue to boil.

Separately heat two tablespoons of oil and add mustard seeds, asafoetida, cumin seeds and garlic and add to the curry.

The final flourish comes in the form of farsan, sev, onions and tamarind chutney.

 

The dish is typically served with bread and butter.
