It’s a very famous lunch\/breakfast recipe from Karnataka (South India). In
\nKannada, Bisi means hot, Bele means lentil, and Bath means rice.
\nIt’s a healthy and balanced One Pot meal made of rice, lentils, and mixed
\nvegetables. It tastes great when eaten with Kara Bhoondi, potato chips, or
\nPapad.
\nThe trick to making Bisibelebath is to make the masala powder fresh at
\nhome. Bisibelebath powder is readily available in supermarkets these
\ndays. If you don’t have the time to run late, you can conveniently purchase
\nBisibelebath Masala. Typically, I buy MTR Bisibelebath Masala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Ayurvedic Point of View:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For vegetarians, beans, dals, and lentils are an essential source of nutrition
\n\u2014protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. As versatile as they
\nare tasty, dals and lentils are used to make salads, appetizers, soups, main
\ndishes, side dishes, and desserts, too. They fit well with other foods, such
\nas grain, vegetables, herbs, and spices.
\nIn Ayurvedic terms, rice is said to be quite balancing to all the three
\nDoshas or elements that underlie our body and our wellbeing\u2014Vata, Pitta,
\nand Kapha. Rice is lighter than many other grains, so that it can be eaten
\nby Kapha; it’s cool, sweet, and moist nature function for Pitta; and sweet
\nmoist attributes balance Vata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n(egg plant), and sweet Potato.<\/li>
      3. If you don\u2019t have bisibelebath powder you can replace with 2
        \ntbsp. of sambhar powder and 1 tbsp. of vangibath powder.<\/li>
