Bisi BeLe Bath is a
signature dish from Karnataka. Few years
back I already posted Bisi Bele Bath recipe in this blog. Today I am going to
post the Brown Rice Bisi Bele Bath here. This is a wholesome one pot meal. It
has protein from the lentils, carbohydrates from the brown rice, vitamins and
minerals from the vegetables. It will grace the taste buds to the last
spoonful.

Method:
- Chop all the vegetables. Heat a pan with one-tablespoon oil. To that add tomatoes, all chopped vegetables sauté them for 5 mins. Switch off heat & allow it to cool. (Sautéing the veggies enhances the taste).
- Soak the Tamarind in hot water and extract the juice and keep aside.
- Now pressure-cook Toor dal & Chenna dal for 2 whistles. Open the pressure cooker; add sautéed vegetables, turmeric powder, Bisi Bele bath powder, tamarind water, , sugar and salt. Mix them well & taste it for the flavors.
- Now slowly mix the cooked rice to the gravy. If necessary add another 1cups water & bring it boil. Keep stirring in between; else the mixture will stick to the bottom. Allow it cook on low heat for 10mins. Boil well so that rice absorbs spices well. Switch off heat.
For
the Tempering:
- Heat ghee/oil in a small kadai. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds jeera & Hing powder. After they crackle, add small cashew pieces Sauté on low flame till they are slight brown. Switch off and add curry leaves.
- Pour the tempering over the piping hot Bisi Bele Bath. Decorate with coriander leaves , cover immediately to preserve the aroma.
- Bisi bele bath is ready to serve .Serve it hot drizzled with ghee, chips and Veg Raita on the sides.
- In this recipe I used frozen vegetables , green beans, and Potatoes. You can add any vegetables to this recipe and make Bisi Bela Anna.
- In Ekadasi days, you can replace rice with Poha/ Broken Wheat/ Oats/ Millets.
