Just like a true Mumbaikar, Abhishek Bachchan recently ordered a misal pav from Swiggy, and he claimed it to be the misal pav in the whole wide world. Upon receiving and eating the misal pav, the Bollywood actor shared an Instagram story tagging Swiggy with a caption, “Oh Swiggy, I love you. #BestMisalInTheWorld.” Who knew that the actor’s wholesome eating experience would become a fun banter between him and Swiggy?
To give a just reply to Abhishek Bachchan’s admiration, Swiggy posted a funny video on their Instagram handle. With the background music as “Dhoom Machale,” the video has two Swiggy delivery partners standing in front of Abhishek Bachchan’s home, followed by a screenshot of misal pav shared by the Bollywood icon.
Captioned as, “Oh Bachchan, we love you too”, and the addition of their fun element of adding a plate of misal pav on every “Dhoom” beat, the delivery platform made headlines while winning the heart of Abhishek Bachchan. The actor too further reposted Swiggy’s video with a caption, “Arresting ya’ll for delivering the yummiest misal.”
Well, if reading the funny banter made your mouth watery, you can make the popular Maharashtrian street food at home. With complementing flavours and textures, you can make misal pav by sprouting moth beans. You can then prepare the masala by cooking the sprouted beans with a paste of chillies, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and a blend of spices. Once cooked, you can let the mixture simmer till you get a soupy base. Finally, toast some pavs and garnish the masala with chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and farsan to enjoy the misal pav yourself.
