Bisibele Bhaat is a spicy Rice based dish with origins in Karnataka and is said to have originated in the palace of Mysore. It's a perfect choice mealtimes with your loved ones. It's tangy, spicy, flavourful and aromatic with Rice, Lentils, Vegetables and a special masala used in it. It's absolutely refreshing and healthy to the last morsel. You would definitely want it more and more of it.
There have been different styles of making it but it's a must that we keep the authenticity of the dish untouched. This one here is also a quicker one pot version and does not require elaborate and separate cooking.

This one is an incredible and an innovative twist by me using Broken/Cracked Wheat along with not just Pigeon Pea Lentils or Toor Daal which is traditionally used but also a little of Yellow Split Lentils or Dhuli Moong Daal or Yellow Moong. The rest of the dish is exactly the same as the original. No changes made whatsoever. Trust me on this one guys, it has turned out so flavourful and delicious that there was nothing left. My kids loved it so much. I had of course adjusted the spice levels. It's one's own choice afterall. It need not be too spicy or hot. Do not go overboard on this one. You definitely can adjust the spice levels accordingly. With kids, it should be kept in mind for sure. That's all. Let's get on with the recipe straight away.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Add ghee and mustard oil to a pressure cooker. Saute onions with black mustard seeds, asafoetida, ginger, garlic, curry leaves and green chillies. After they get translucent, add potatoes and fry for about 2-3 minutes.
2

And then add the rest of the veggies including the tomatoes. Cook all of that for a minute or two. Now add the powdered spices, broken wheat and both the lentils. Also add homemade bisibele masala powder and tamarind paste too.
3

Mix well and add water accordingly. Salt can be adjusted later on. Pressure cook for 6-7 whistles or as required. Let the steam settle down on it's own before opening the lid of the cooker.
4

After opening, allow it to cook on a low heat and adjust salt and if needed add some hot water to adjust the consistency. It should be semi thick and not too runny or watery. Also add a little of ghee and some fried cashewnuts.
5

Garnish with lots of freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve it piping hot right away alongside some chutney, sambar and namkeen/khara/sev/boondi/mixture. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
