This Misal Pav recipe we developed using the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker is quicker and more accessible and she even approves of this modern cooking technique! The sprouted math/moth bean curry is simmered in a thin gravy also known as ‘Kat’ or ‘Rassa’ with authentic flavors being induced by the freshly ground ginger, garlic, and a warming spice blend called Misal Masala. Served as a hearty breakfast in small street-side restaurants in Western India, Misal pav is a very popular dish. It is always an instant hit at potlucks and gatherings. For me, it is a hearty meal that can be enjoyed any time of the day! My mother always whipped up this spicy dish on dull rainy days and it never failed to lift up our dampened spirits. As the Matki Usal simmered away in an incredible combination of fresh ground ginger, garlic, coconut, and misal masala, our kitchen would come alive with many delightful aromas. Meanwhile, the condiments of diced onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lemon wedges, and crispy farsan placed neatly in small white bowls made for a visual delight. I remember us all waiting in cheerful anticipation as the misal cooked to sublime perfection. I often make misal pav for easy protein-packed weeknight meals. This steaming wholesome dish leaves us completely satiated and instantly transports me back down memory lane to my home in India. Step 2 - Set the Instant Pot to saute mode and heat oil. Add mustard seeds and allow them to pop. This may take 2 to 3 minutes. Add hing, turmeric, curry leaves, fresh coriander leaves, and chopped onions. Saute everything as the onions start to turn translucent, it may take around 3 to 4 minutes. Cook covered to speed up the process (photos 3 - 6). Step 4 - Release the remaining pressure by turning the pressure release valve to venting. Open the lid and give a quick stir. Garnish with remaining cilantro (photos 11 - 12). To serve this dish as a gluten-free option, simply add lots of diced onion, tomatoes, Farsan, and a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt over the curry and enjoy with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Or serve it over steamed rice for a complete meal. Instant Pot yogurt mode is also a good option for sprouting. Let me explain how to sprout beans using Instant Pot - Note - 1 cup of dry moth beans will make 2.5 cups of sprouted beans Looking for more recipes?
