Breakfast, be it a simple toast or platter full of delicious food items, always makes or breaks your day. Rather breakfast decides how your day will roll! Hence someone said it right, eat your breakfast like a "King"! Indian cuisine is so diverse when it comes to breakfast. It has some amazing breakfast items from each corner of the country! Be it North Indian "aloo ke Parathe" (Indian stuffed flatbread) or south Indian "Idli (steamed rice cakes) and coconut chutney" or Maharashtrian plate of delicious hot "Poha" ( curried rice flakes), it amazing and mouthwatering every-time.
One such delicacy known as "Misal Pav" is a celebrated breakfast across the country and beyond! Its simply the pinnacle of Breakfast Goals that shines every single time! Its made differently in different parts of the country, some make it extra spicy, some makes it tangy but it delicious every which way!
