Serving Misal Pav
1. Take a Large Bowl, Add 2 table spoon matki usal, Pour tarri on it. Then add 2 table spoon of farsan, 2 table spoon Sev ,boiled potatoes,1 Table spoon chopped onion, Chopped coriander, a wedge of lemon & fresh curd. Serve it with Pav.
2.But I prefer to give every thing in separate bowls so that every one can mix all the items according to their tastes.
3.Serve misal with pav (bun).
TIPS
1.Adjust the spices while making tarri/kaat depending on your taste .If you prefer less spicy version simply add chilli powder,kala masala & kandalasun masala to onion coconut paste & you can skip adding ground spices.
2. Replace lemon with dahi( yoghurt).
