I Tried Pune’s Most Iconic Spicy Misal: Newale Misal Pimpri | Misal Series EP 1

Welcome to Episode 1 of our brand-new Pune Misal Series! Just like our Biryani Series, we are on a mission to explore the most legendary, spicy, and beloved misal spots across Pune and PCMC. To kick things off, Ankur heads into the lanes of Pimpri to visit "Newale Misal" (serving since 1954 / 1945)! What started as a humble bhel stall decades ago has grown into one of Pimpri-Chinchwad’s most iconic heritage food spots. We take you behind the scenes inside their kitchen to see how this unique misal is assembled—layered with poha, crispy papdi, gathiya, thin sev, sprouts/matki, chopped onions, fresh coriander, and drenched in their signature spicy red rassa/tarri made with secret home-ground spices. We also tasted their: Crispy Bata Bhaji paired with their fiery green thecha/chutney Homemade Taak (Spiced Buttermilk) In-house Solkadhi (the ultimate savior against the slow-burning spice!) Watch the full review to see how the spice creeps up, why poha with tarri gives authentic Nagpur tarri poha vibes, and our honest final verdict! 📍 Google Maps Location: Shop no 8,9,10, Guruganesh Apt, opp. Bakers zone Bakery, behind Ganesh Jewellers, Gandhi Peth, Prabhat Colony, Chinchwad Gaon, Chinchwad, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Maharashtra 411033 https://maps.app.goo.gl/nUdfsj6CdjZ8T... 🍽️ Menu Highlights: Misal Pav, Batata Bhaji, Solkadhi, Taak (Buttermilk), Extra Farsan Plate.
