Tikhat rassa misal
Thin potato in fiery Kolhapuri gravy — the plate regulars order first
On the plate
Our story
Founded in 1923, Bawade Misal is among the oldest misal houses in Kolhapur — still pouring from a modest kitchen at Shivaji Chowk while the city grew around it. Generations have queued here before work, after college, and on Sunday mornings when the lane smells of tarri and toasted pav.
The family recipe is unmistakable: a sharp, tikhat rassa built around wafer-thin potato slices, finished with a shower of fresh grated coconut that cools the heat without dulling it. Pair the plate with chilled solkadhi and you have the Kolhapuri breakfast rhythm locals defend in every argument about “the real misal.”
This page replaces the generic SEO site at bawadamisal.com — a straight guide to the actual counter behind Bharat Bakery, not a directory of random listings.
