Mahahrastrian Misal Pav#SundayFunday

Misal-Pav” is a another favorite meal of a“Maharashtrians / Mumbaikar's ” after the most famous Vada Pav. Misal pav is a pretty popular dish from Maharashtra and every region has it’s own version of making misal.

What is Misal? Misal is basically a spicy curry made of moth beans/matki or mixed beans sprouts. The dish is topped "farsan" or "sev", onions, lemon and coriander before serving. It's eaten with bread or pav, a katori of yogurt/curd or a glass of buttermil.
In Konkan where the spice levels are so high that a glass of solkadi is guzzled down to cool the heat!

Misal has in three steps
1. Making of the usal/curry
2. Making the kat/tarri spicy water based thin gravy!
3. The toppings - tomato, onion , lemon juice and farsan

Ingredients
For The Sprouted Mixed Beans Curry
2 Cups Mixed Bean Sprouts - see notes
1 Large Onion - finely chopped
2 Medium Tomatoes - finely chopped
1 Green chilly - chopped
1 Teaspoon Heaped Ginger Garlic paste
1 Teaspoon Mustard seeds
½ Teaspoon Cumin seeds
A Spring Curry leaves
1 Teaspoon Heaped Goda masala - see notes
½ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
2 Teaspoons Heaped Kacha Masala - East Indian - see notes
A Small Lemon Size Ball Tamarind, soaked in 1/2 cup water
1 cup water or add more if you want thin consistency
2 - 3 Tablespoons Groundnut Oil
Salt to taste

Method
Soaked the tamarind in ½ cup water for 15 - 20 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind and remove the plup, keep this aside.

Rinse the bean sprouts first in running water well. Drain them completely and then add the sprouts, a little turmeric powder, salt and water 2 inch's above the sprouts, in a pressure cooker till done. Pressure cook for 2 to 3 whistles, or until the beans are cooked yet firm.
Take a deep pan/kadai, heat oil, add in the mustard seeds and cumin seeds when they splutter. Add onion and curry leaves, sauté the onion till they turn translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilly, stir and sauté till the raw aroma of ginger-garlic goes away. Now add the dry spices - kacha masala, turmeric powder and goda masala. Stir and then add the tamarind pulp. Keep stirring till the raw aroma of the tamarind goes away. 

Now drain the bean sprouts ( reserve the stock to make the tarri), lighlty mix and add a cup water or more water if required. I added more because the sprouts while getting cooked makes the curry thicker. Bring this to a rolling boil. Reduce the flame and let it simmer for 15 minutes, so the flavors infuse, keep stirring in between so that the beans don’t stick to the bottom of the pan.  

Garnish with coriander leaves.

Ingredients
For The Tarri/ Kat
3 Tablespoons Grated Dry Coconut (lightly dry roasted)
1 Medium Tomato chopped
1 Medium Onion - chopped
½ Teaspoon Ginger Garlic paste
1 Teaspoon Goda Masala
½ Teaspoon  Red chili powder
1 Tablespoon Groundnut Oil
Salt to taste

Method

Heat the pan with oil, add the  garlic-ginger paste, fry for till they turn light brown. Add onion and fry till they turn golden and soft. Add tomatoes and fry for few minutes. Turn off the flame and let it cool. Once cool add above made onion masala, dry coconut, garam masala, red chilly powder and grind to a smooth paste.
Heat the pan with 4-5tsp oil, add above made masala paste and cook till the oil starts leave the sides. At this point you can add red chili powder, salt. Add stock from the beans and little more to make a watery consistency. Cook till it comes to boil.  

Kat or tarri is very thin watery consistency is ready.

Assembling The Misal Pav  

In a bowl or divided plate take the usal curry. Fill it to half. Add in the tarri. Garnish it with tomatoes, onions, farsan, potato sallis, as much as you would like to. Squeeze in lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves.  

Serve it warm with pav, cold buttermilk or Solkadhi

My Notes

Do not sprout the beans too much or else the misal will be mushy.
If you do not have goda masala then you can use garam masala powder but half the quantity of goda masala.
Instead of Kacha Masala - use 2 or more teaspoon of red chilly or according to spice level, a teaspoon heaped of coriander powder and a teaspoon cumin powder.

Keto Beef Mince With Broccoli & Zucchini#Foodieextravaganza

This is a creamy delicious and simple main course dish to prepare. For this recipe you can substitute any Keto approved veggies, this will still taste yummy. Net Carbs per serving is just 7grams.

Serves 2
Ingredients
250 grams Beef Mince
150 Grams Broccoli florets with stalks
150 Grams Zucchini
¼ Cup Onion
2 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
½ Teaspoon Paprika Powder
½ Teaspoon Red Chilli Flakes
½ Teaspoon Fresh Thyme
25 Grams Grated Cheddar Cheese
2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
25 Grams Cream Cheese
½ Tablespoon Coconut Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste

Method
I have used 80% lean and 20% fat beef mince.
Cut the broccoli florets from the stem and set them aside. Also chop the zucchini into small cubes or slices, however you like them.

Heat the oil in a skillet or non stick pan, add in the beef mince, add a little salt and pepper and then sauté for two minutes, then add in the onions and garlic.  Once the onions turn translucent and the garlic starts to brown add in the paprika, chilli flakes and thyme, give everything a good mix. Cook for a minute before adding the zucchini and the broccoli, season with salt and mix. 

Cover and cook for 4 minutes and then grate the cheddar cheese and add the heavy cream, mix well, cover and cook for another few minutes till the cheese melts. If there is too much stock in the pan cook till that reduces down ( this should be semi dry).

Finally add in the cream cheese and mix everything well. Serve with some fresh parmesan grated on the top and a sprinkling of paprika. 

Enjoy with Low Crab Coconut Flour & Oat Fiber Flatbread!!

Homemade Mixed Berry Compote/Sauce

This is known by different names, berry sauce, berry coulis or berry topping, berry compote is essentially berries cooked down with a little sugar and lemon juice until thick and syrupy.
The berries will break down as you cook them, they won’t hold their shape. This makes it perfectly spoon able.

If you don’t like the seeds, you can easily push the compote through a sieve to separate them from the flesh and in so doing, you have a perfectly smooth berry sauce.

You can use the berry compote while still warm, at room temperature or when cold and there is nearly unlimited number of ways to use it.

This compote can’t be preserved for long periods as it doesn’t contain enough sugar. You’ll need to eat this within 6 - 7 days of making it or freeze it for up to 2 months. This compote is naturally vegan and gluten free too!

This is so quick to make, you can have this vibrant berry compote ready for topping your pancakes, cakes, ice cream and so much more. This thick berry sauce is so versatile and so easy to make.  

Makes ½ Cup
Ingredients
1 Big Cup Frozen Mixed Berries
2 Tablespoons Heaped Sugar or to your taste
A Juice of Half a Lime
½ Teaspoon Vanilla extract
Method

Place the berries, sugar or lemon juice into a medium saucepan over medium flame. As it heats stir until everything is mixed. 
Bring to a simmer and cook stirring every so often for around 10 to 12 minutes or until the juice has thickened. 

Mash the berries with a spoon to make a sauce. 

Stir in the vanilla then pour it into your preserving jar and let it cool to room temperature before lidding and storing in the fridge.
