| About: |
| BisiBele Bhath is the signature dish of many regions in Karnataka. It is a wholesome meal-in-one and has rice, Dal and vegetables all in a runny khichdi-like consistency. Each family has their own unique recipe for this dish., boiling everything one by one and cooking them in freshly ground Masala. |
| Ingredients: |
| 1 cup Rice (uncooked)3/4 cup Toor Dal (uncooked)2 cups Mixed Vegetables (onions, potatoes, peas, beans and corn)2 tsp Tamarind6 cups WaterMasala1/2 cup grated Copra or Coconut powder2 tsp Sambar Powder2 Tbsp Coriander Seeds1″ Cinnamon3-4 Cloves2-3 Cardamom1 tsp Khaskhas1/4 tsp Asafetida1 sprig Curry leavesTadka4-5 Tbsp Oil3-4 Red Chilies2 tsp Mustard Seeds1 sprig Curry Leaves1 tsp Turmeric1/4 tsp Asafetida |
| How to prepare? |
| In a little bit of heated oil, fry the Masala ingredients, except for the copra and the Sambar powder. Grind all of the Masala ingredients to a paste with a little water. Keep aside.In a pressure cooker, do the Tadka. Add the mixed vegetables and fry for a few seconds. Add the rice and Dal and fry for a few more seconds. Now put in ground Masala, water, tamarind and salt to taste. Cook in the pressure cooker for 3 whistles (well, 3 in my cooker). It is a whistle more than when you cook plain Dal. That’s it! |
| How to Serve? |
| It tastes delicious and we usually have it with rice papad, potato chips and/or raitha. |
