Instructions

  • Blend tomato, chilies, ginger, garlic in a blender to make a smooth paste.
  • Set the Instant Pot to saute mode and heat oil. Add mustard seeds and allow them to pop. This may take 2 to 3 minutes. Add hing, turmeric, curry leaves and onions.
  • Saute until the onions start to turn translucent, it may take around 3 to 4 minutes. Cook covered to speed up the process.
  • Add the spice paste and saute for another minute. Add red chili powder, ground coriander, garam masala, ground cumin, and salt. Mix well. Add sprouted beans and mix well.
  • Add water and give a quick stir. Secure the Instant Pot with the pressure valve to sealing. Pressure Cook (Hi) for 5 minutes followed by 10-minute natural pressure release.
  • Release the remaining pressure by turning the pressure release valve to venting. Open the lid and give a quick stir. Garnish with remaining cilantro.
  • To Serve Misal Pav:
  • Heat a nonstick griddle or pan. Lightly spread butter or ghee on each half of the bun/pav and place on the griddle. Cook until they are hot to touch.

  • You can also serve the toppings on the side so that the farsan stays crunchy. I also like to serve with lemon wedges.

Notes/Tips

Sprouted beans are used traditionally, but if you do not have them handy you can also use soaked moth beans with the same pressure cook time or dry moth beans with an increased pressure cook time of 15 minutes.
