Oil- 3 tsp

Mustard seeds- ½ tps

Broken urad dal- ¼ tsp

Fenugreek seeds- ¼ tsp

Curry leaves- a few

Pressure cook the dal with turmeric powder and asafetida and set aside.

Soak the tamarind in water and squeeze the juice.

In a cooker or big vessel, add 10 cups of water(1:5 ratio).

When it boils add the rice and the vegetables(from peas to green chillies).

When the rice is ¾ th cooked.

Add the dal and salt.mix properly and add the ground paste, tamarind juice, sambarpowder and

ghee.

Partly Cover and cook for a few minutes in reduced flame.

Heat oil in another pan and add the seasonings one by one.

Now add this to the rice. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve hot with raita and papad/chips and ghee on top.

This bisi bela bhath should be in a slightly semisolid consistency than the normal rice.

It might not come out well the first time. Try it twice or thrice, and you'll be a master of Bisibelebath

(or BBB for short).

Don't overheat and get your dish charred.

You can vary the quantities and try it out.

Be careful while preparing "Tadka", as it involves heated oil. Avoid it if you think you can't manage it.

The dish tastes good even without that.

Rice (1 Cup)

Toor Daal (half a cup) (you will get this in any Indian Store)
