It consists of misal (a spicy curry usually made from moth beans) and pav (a type of Indian bread roll).

[1][2] The final dish is topped with farsan or sev, onions, lemon and coriander (cilantro).

[3] It is usually served hot with bread or rolls[4] toasted with butter and buttermilk or dahi and papad.

Misal is prepared in part with sprouted lentils[6] and has less water content and a watery, spicy "kat" (pronounced "cut").

[3] In 2015, the misal pav served at Dadar's Aaswad restaurant was named the world's tastiest vegetarian dish at the FoodieHub Awards in London.
