with storebought goda masala but I made the masala from scratch as I am not sure whether we get the goda masala spice mix here.

This is one of the famous maharashrian dish, its so filling that you can have it for breakfast too.This is mildy spicy but kolhlapuri misal pav is usually very spicy.

• Squeeze lemon while serving.
• Add jaggery powder if you like sweet taste.
• If your tomatoes are not very sour then add 1 tsp tamarind pulp.
• The gravy is little runny only.The oil on top should be poured on top while serving the curry.
• Reduce chilli powder if you prefer a mildly spiced curry.
• You can have the gravy with rotis too.
