    Bisibelabath Recipe

    I am delivering you the recipe which I promised you yesterday. This  is one of the best one I have ever had. I will recommend you to try this dish as soon as possible.

    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

      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'?

      hi Aarthi... have been visiting your website for quite some time... doing really a great job. the pictoral representations are really helpful.

      btw was going thru this page and found that you have not added 'bele' (dhal) to bisi bele baath. usually thur dhal for this. is this a different style??
