How long does Maharashtra Misal Pav keep in the fridge?

Maharashtra Misal Pav keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Maharashtra Misal Pav ahead of time?

Yes. Maharashtra Misal Pav is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most north indian vegan dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Maharashtra Misal Pav?

Classic pairings include pav, lemon. For a complete north indian thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
