USAL
A traditional Maharashtrian recipe of spicy pulses in a thin watery gravy which is
usually eaten with bread.
Usal is served in almost all streetside eateries in Maharashtra. One such eatery where I never miss the usal is situated on the road from Mumbai to Pune. They serve the most lip smacking usal along with 2 pieces of pav which is filling enough to keep me
satiated through the journey.
Another thing that I must mention is Misal. This is nothing but usal toped with
fried ganthia and sev. But I prefer the low cal version i.e. without it!
Cooking Time : 15 mins.
