About Bisibelabath Recipe
You know that bisibelabath is one of the famous and tasty dish. The cool thing about this is, it is Iyengar recipe and I got this from one of my friend in office. This is her mum’s recipe. One day we had a get together in office, she bought this along with papad and it was totally delicious. At that second itself I wanted to post this in my blog. So last week I called her mum and asked for the recipe and made it at once.
The vegetables used in this recipe is entirely upto you. You could add or remove any vegetables as per your wish. Basically you are making a special sambar and adding rice to that. Please taste the sambar and adjust the tamarind, salt and sugar for your taste. This is best had piping hot right from the stove. You can put this in a bowl and eat it with a spoon, because the consistency of this should be semi solid which makes it a comfort dish.
I had it with brinjal fry and papad. So hope you love it and let me know the results.

Hi .. I recently stumbled upon your site.. And i became a frequent visitor from then onwards.. Today i tried this bisibela bath recipe (with very few changes in the spices) it came out so well.. I prepared it for a potluck dinner... It was an instant hit.. Thank you for posting such wonderful recipes..
Vin
Hi
It came very good except the smell of cinnamon (took only 5 no's of cinnamon) was too high. I heard from my mother that it will give too much smell if we make powder of it. Anyway cheers and keep posting..

'Split chana dal' looks like 'Pottu kadalai'? or is it regular 'kadalai paruppu'?
Aarthi
@Anonymousit is kadalai paruppu
