Farali Misal is a flavorful and satisfying dish enjoyed during fasting periods in India, particularly during festivals like Navratri. It's a variation of the traditional Misal dish, adapted to adhere to dietary restrictions observed during religious fasts.

To prepare Farali Misal, a base of cooked sprouted beans or legumes, such as mung beans (moong dal) or sprouted lentils, is seasoned with fasting-friendly spices and ingredients. These may include cumin seeds, ginger, green chilies, curry leaves, and rock salt (sendha namak), as regular salt is usually avoided during fasting.

The seasoned sprouts are then simmered until tender and flavorful. Additional ingredients such as boiled potatoes, chopped tomatoes, and shredded coconut may be added for texture and flavor.

Farali Misal is typically served hot and garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. It can be enjoyed on its own as a hearty and nutritious meal or paired with fasting-friendly accompaniments such as Farali Bhakri (flatbread) or Sabudana Khichdi (tapioca pearl pilaf).

This dish offers a flavorful and wholesome option for those observing religious fasts, providing both sustenance and taste during festive occasions.
