Maharashtrian delicacy misal pav includes sprouts curry topped with onions, tomatoes, lemon juice and coriander leaves. It is served with soft pav and in Marathi, the word ‘misal’ means mixture and the sprouts curry is called usal.

Meanwhile, the savoury rice cake, a popular breakfast food item in South India, is usually eaten with sambar or chutney. It is made by steaming a batter of fermented black lentils and rice.
