Bisi bele bath- south Indian recipe and Savings Rite Aid Coupon


When I think of Karnataka cuisine the first thing which comes into my mind is Bisibele bath. Bisi means hot, bele means dal so bisibele bath is nothing but hot dal rice(almost like samabar rice) . Just Like obbatu (bobbatlu/puran poli) bisibele bath takes a special place during festivals and weddings. It’s a one pot meal in which you get your protein, carbs and veggies cooked to perfection in our favourite Indian spices. I love Mango pickle on the side of this delicious dish. Raita on the side is also a nice compliment to this classic dish of Karnataka.
If you wanna make this recipe fast you can substitute Instant sambar mix powder instead of spices that I have mentioned. Freshly ground spices sure taste great. I made this bisibele bath in rice cooker. You can also make it in deep rice pot or pressure cooker. It tastes awesome when blended with spices and vegetables. My hubby enjoyed it a lot. Now coming to the recipe

When all the vegetables are half cooked add the prepared powder and Mix well, cook for another few minutes and add this mixture to the soaked rice and dal.

If you are cooking in pressure cooker, cook for 3-4 whistles(depends on the type of cooker, you know about your cooker better than me). Serve hot with raita.
