Bisibelebath Recipe with homemade bisibelebath powder and step by step pictures. In Kannada bise – hot, bele – lentil, bath – rice, totally means as hot lentil rice. I used my own version of homemade powder, where I used byadagi chilli, which lends a vibrant colour to the rice. If you prepare the powder in advance, the whole process gets finished within 45 minutes. The taste was much closer to the one made in MTR restaurant. This bisi bele bath recipe is completely different from the sambar sadam from Tamilnadu cuisine. It can be eaten plain as such or had with karaboondhi, onion raitha or cabbage poriyal.

Tips for Bisibelebath Recipe

1. Always cook the rice – dal in enough water. Also pressure cook for 5 whistles atleast, so it will be easy to mash.
2. If you want the rice to be whole, cook rice and dal separately, then mash dal only. Cook rice with 3 cups of water and dal with 1.5 cup of water.
3. Addition of veggies is purely optional. Traditionally this bisibelebath recipe is done without any onion or veggies. But veggies like potato, drumstick, capsicum etc can be used.
4. Pour tamarind water only after the veggies are cooked,  else it wont get cooked afterwards.
5. Adjust tamarind quantity as per tanginess preferred for this bisi bele bath recipe.
6. After adding rice, cook in simmer for minimum 5 minutes, so the flavours get infused well.
7. I used home made bisibelebath powder. If using store bought ones, increase the powder to 4 tbsp.
8. Tempering in ghee lends an wonderful aroma to the rice. Also drizzle few drops of ghee before serving.
9. Instead of cashews, peanuts can be used. It adds a different flavour to the rice.
10. If you don’t have copra coconut in hand, fry fresh grated coconut in ghee and use it.
