There are many Variations of Misal Pav. The most popular ones are these two. The first one is Misal pav from Pune known as Puneri Misal, and the second is Kolhapuri Misal pav.
In Pune style misal pav, poha or pohe is the first layer, which is topped with usal and followed by Rassa or kaat and toppings.
Kolhapuri Misal is very spicy and known for the use of lots of chillies. I use two words SPICY and HOT. When I say spicy it means very very spicy, like sweating with heat kind of spicy.
