Heathy one-pot dish- Hot ‘and’ spicy Bisi Belle Bath instructions
- Cook the Tur dal in 2 &1/2 glasses water In a pressure cooker for 2 whistles..
- Boil 1 cup of white rice until it's mashed well. Dal & rice ratio must be equal for best taste.
- Soak the tamarind pulp in some water for 15 mins. We will use only the juice & not the whole pulp in our recipe..
- In a pan add the mustard seeds. Once they begin to papaya, add the chopped onions, tomato, curry leaves & coriander. Stir fry for 2 mins..
- Soak the brinjals in water for 5 mins & set aside. Prepare the other veggies. You can use all except lady’s finger & beetroot in this dish..
- Put all the veggies into the pan and stir fry for a few mins..
- Add the salt, chilli powder & turmeric powder at this stage. Mix well. Pour water just enough to cover the veggies. Cover & cook until the vegetables soften a bit but don’t get mashed completely..
- Add the mashed dal with the boiled rice. Mix completely. Pour the tamarind juice into the veggies. Add the cooked veggies to the rice & mix again. This step is done off the heat..
- Next we make the flavouring podi. This gives extra kick to the dish. Fry the ingredients mentioned under ‘podi’ in a tsp oil. Once it cools powder it in a mixer. Add that along with 1 tsp garam masala or ready made bisi bele bath powder to the rice. Mix well..
- Finally add the ghee to the bisi bele bath. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander & peanut powder. Serve hot with pappad, mango pickle & tomato raita..
- Additional tip: I have used Palli podi for garnishing. It’s a powder famous in Andhra that is made by powdering peanuts, red chillies & garlic together. This is optional as the podi we make in step 9 itself gives great flavour..
