Directions

Step 1
Cook mixed sprouts with a pinch of turmeric and salt in a pressure cooker for 1 whistle or until tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large pot. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves. Let them splutter.
Step 3
Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, cooking for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add pureed tomatoes and cook until oil separates. Stir in misal masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the cooked sprouts, jaggery/sugar, and 2-3 cups of water to adjust gravy consistency. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Step 6
To serve: Ladle hot misal (the curry) into bowls. Top generously with farsan/sev, chopped raw onion, and fresh coriander. Serve with lemon wedges and toasted pav.
