What is Misal in Misal Tacos | Maharashtrian Misal baked tacos
Misal is a popular food of Maharashtra. I got to taste this nutritious dish misal, few years back once enroute to Mahabaleshwar.
We took a break to have tea on the way, and saw many food joints serving popular Maharashtrian dishes.
Many breakfast options like batata vada, Kothimbir vadi, kande pohe, sabudana khichdi, and Misal pav etc were here to relish and we decided to taste misal pav. And I must say we weren’t disappointed at all.
My recipes from Maharashtrian cuisine are Ukdiche Modaks with oats
What are the ingredients used to make these nutritious tacos
The basic ingredients to make the Misal are various sprouts, poha, boiled potato, onion, garlic, coriander, farsan and tari/kat/rasa.
We, at home, usually make this misal during weekdays as lunch/dinner. It’s such a refreshing change from regular dal chawal-sabzi roti kinda meals.
Nutritious Sprouts Misal Tacos Baked, a smart way to nutririon
As my children don’t prefer eating sprouts, and I as a smart mom, feed them this way making it more interesting and in a different avatar.
I saw this dish on TV and decided to go ahead and try it as I found the combination very interesting.
Here comes a twist of filling misal into baked Maxican tacos. The tacos are filled with a Maharashtra famous Teekhi misal, Kat (gravy), sour cream & topped with farsan.
Come join me and sample these delicious tacos with a desi twist!
Let’s begin with making homemade baked taco shells :
Combine the flours and seasoning. Mix the oil, and salt to make a soft dough by using enough warm water.
Cover the dough with cloth and rest it for 10 minutes.
Roll out thin rounds chapatis. Give the proper round shape by any lid or bowl cover to make equal sized taco shells.
Prick lightly with a fork. Roast it on tawa on both sides lightly.
Now preheat an oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
Arrange roasted taco chapatis on oven steel rack by leaving 1 rod, so as to give U shape.
Bake it on 185 degrees for 6 to 7 minutes.
Keep the baked tacos shells in an air-tight tin.
To make misal :
Pressure cook the sprouts with salt to 2 whistles. Keep aside.
In a deep pan put oil. Add mustard seeds. When it starts spluttering, add curry leaves, red chili powder, haldi, & chopped onions. Saute for a while.
Add chopped tomatoes, mashed potatoes, soaked poha, green chilies, sprouted & boiled moth beans, some salt, misal masala powder.
Give a gentle mix. Before switching off the flame put lemon juice. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
To make the Thick Kat/gravy :
In a pan put oil. Add chopped onions. Brown it on low to medium flame. Add desiccated coconut.
Add chopped tomatoes. Put haldi, salt, lal mirch powder, Goda masala powder. Now add curry patta for flavour. Mix nicely. Add lemon juice. Gravy has to be made thick. If required add very less water.
To make Sour cream:
Take hung curds. Add fresh cream in to it. Whip it. Add a pinch of salt. Add lemon juice & vinegar. Mix nicely.
To Assemble Nutritious Sprouts Misal Tacos (Baked) :
Take taco shells in a plate. Fill in with misal. Layer it with kat/thick gravy.
Top it with sour cream. Now add farsan. Put grated cheese on it. Again put some more farsan.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves & some more sour cream.
