  13. Hi,
    Thank you so much for the recipe.I tried this yesterday and it came out very well:) ur site is encouraging many ppl like me to cook.Pls continue the good job!.(i tried ur kutti vangaya kura recipe also..i posted a doubt but it did not come in the site)

  14. Hi can I cook veg n dal toghther and rice separate , since in my family they like to it like that , can u tell me how plz

    1. if you cook veg and dal together, then the veggies will get overdone by the time the dal is cooked. you can cook the dal first. then add the veggies to the cooked dal. cook till the veggies are done.

  15. Thanks a million for this authentic recipe, although i am from Karntaka but from northern part, where cooking is much different than south of Karnataka. I always wanted to make the bb bath the way i had tasted it in a bangaloreons house. In US lot of people do it in a short cut way which doesnt taste as original. I prepared with your instructions step by step and it came out so well, my hubby said it reminded him of kadambam restaurant, all thanks to your effort is posting the detailed instructions and measurements.5 stars

  16. Thank you for your reply.Tried it yesterday and came out well and tasted really good. Only problem was not much gravy and was very thick.
    In step 25 I think I went wrong and didnt add enough water,but will take care of it in the next preparation.Still children liked it and vanished from plate in no time,
    Another superb item added to my recipe list.
    thanks a lot again.5 stars

  17. I am a novice to cooking,started to cook a year back after loosing my dear wife.
    After seeing this pics and reading your detailed note of the recipe I am 100% confident now to try this item.
    If they ask to rate it on a scale of 5, will give 10 stars for this recipe.
    Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,what a way to give a recipe.
    Wish everyone gives like this.
    Will cook today and give the feed back.
    Thanks,Thanks,Thanks,Thanks,Thanks for sharing.5 stars

  18. Hello Amit,
    Please add me in your email subscription list. Would love to read all your recipes as soon as you publish them. Many thanks. N u are doing a gr8 job. Love all your recipes.5 stars

  19. Hello.. Im a big fan of all your recipes… I have recently finished my graduation and I have a great passion for cooking.. The way you explain makes me understand and prepare them in a much easier way.. I tried this Bisi Bele Bath at home and it is undoubtedly the best. I just love the way you explain everything. Only issue was the rice became much softer when I mixed with the Dal, although the grains were separate when the rice was cooked..
    Not sure where I went wrong.. Please correct me..

    Thanks,
    Sravani

  20. I am very great fan of u amit i regularly follow u r dishes.recently i tried bise bele bath it realy camed out very very tasty thanku amit

  21. Hi dassana, My husband was insisting me to prepare this recipe recipe. Though I didn’t taste this dish till today I tried ur recipe recipe. It turned out very good. My husband appreciate me. Thank you so much much.

  22. Being a Marathi girl, I was not aware of this dish initially. Once I had it in my office. After that went crazy, I loved it so much that finally I decided to learn and enjoy.
    Thanks to your blog, I prepared it perfectly. . So perfectly that surprisingly my husband asked me to again make all the efforts and make it again for dinner.
    Thank you so much.5 stars

  23. It is very simple and very well trusted and easy to make receipes. i have tried and it comes really well.

  24. Hi dassana, I love your blog. When it comes to Indian food, your blog is the one I trust. I just gave one doubt – why can’t we pressure cook the rice and peanuts? Is boiling rice necessary to achieve certain consistency?

  25. Hi , is there any way to subscribe this site . You have made south indian food easy to make . And will all the pics , I am so confident in first go . Mind blowing all the best .5 stars

  26. Hi dassana
    I m regular reader of ur blog n it helo me in a way that I can’t tell u in words.
    I hv tried so many recipes of yours n it comes out so yummy n outstanding.
    Thank u soooo much for sharing recipes n ur precious time.

  27. Very cute explanation and i love bisi bele bath. I dnt no how to make but I tried it from ur website it’s really yummy…… good work keep going……..5 stars

  28. Other simple way, without using too many utensils is,
    Pressure cook toor dal 3/4 way, and add washed rice and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
    Next add veggies and tamarind water, bisi bele bhath powder, jaggery and continue for further 2 whistles. Finally temper it.
    In MTR veggies used are French beans, carrot, green peas, tomatoes, Gobi florets. Finally while tampering they add capsicum to retain its crispness4 stars

    1. thanks madhusudhan for the suggestions. i will try this way too. and also thanks for sharing the MTR recipe. we were fond of their bisi bele bath and masala dosa.

  29. We were searching the internet for this recipe, came across so many complicated ones. But your’s was truly the most simple and tastiest recipe. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of the world. I have bookmarked this page for all my future kitchen experiments.5 stars

Will follow you for more. May I know abt you. I am Shobha,living in bangalore, a homemaker n a nutritionist.5 stars

  31. Hello Dasana,

    You are doing a great job for bachelors like me. On seeing your website I stated to cook and yes its turning out well. Really wanted to say thanks.

    And what do you mean by marati moggu?5 stars

    1. thanks ram for sharing this positive feedback. glad to know this. marati moggu is a spice which is used in karnataka cuisine. it resembles cloves in shape but is much larger than clove. has a very different aroma.

  32. Hi dassana,
    I am a regular here and have tried out countless of your recipes. Just came across this recipe from you and felt a need to share our family’s method. I am a native of Bangalore and bisibelebath is our goto easy dish. It hardly takes 15 mins of prep time. We dont necessarily boil rice, dal and veggies separately. Everything can be boiled together in the pressure cooker and later masala, tamarind water, salt and tempering with ghee are added. As belebath is supposed to be lil’ mushy, it tastes authentic.
    You can also try grinding about 1 tbsp of coconut with bisibelebath masala. It will give a different rich taste 🙂4 stars

    1. thanks a lot vani for sharing your family’s quick version. i have noted down your method and will surely give a try. bisi bele bath is a favorite at home and i make on occasions. if possible i will post this quick method too.

  33. The recipe was kick Ass!
    Tasted like the hotels one.
    Try this u will be not disappointed.
    Thanks. 🙂

    1. thanks arthi for the positive feedback. heat the oven at the temperature mentioned in the recipe for about 10-15 minutes. the oven should be empty while preheating and oven door should be closed. i hope this clears your doubt preheating the oven for baking.

  34. Hi Dassana,

    I am regular reader of your website. Your recipes are really easy to understand.
    I tried this one yesterday and it went perfectly fine. One small change I did was that – I mixed dal n steamed rice in 3 Tbps of Pure Ghee , followed by rest of the items. It was absolutely tasty. At 11th hour I couldn’t find besi beli bath masala ( :p) , so I adjusted with Rasam powder 🙂 . It worked nd everyone liked it.

    ND ha forgot to mention , in the morning I made tomato omlet with your recipe only. 🙂

    Thanks Dassana,

    – Aaditya

    1. welcome aaditya. what you have done will also work. even you can try sambar powder. it taste good with sambar powder also. thanks for sharing positive feedback on both the recipes.

  35. Hi dassana,
    Recipe looks yummy…am yet to try..can bisi bela bath powder replaced by sambar powder? Will it give proper taste? Thanks in advance 🙂5 stars

  36. Its Awesome. All the recipes mentioned in the website are simple and self explaintory. Easy to cook. Thank you5 stars

  37. Hi Dasanna

  38. Hi Dassana, Great recipe as usual with amazing pics. Hats off to your patience in photographing this elaborate process ! Just wanted to know when do you add the tomato while making bisi bele bath? Is it added to the dal or to the veggies during boiling ??

      1. Hi Dassana, Thanks a lot. The bisi bele bath was fantastic. Everyone at home simply loved it ! 🙂

  39. Hello Amit,

    Just came back from India and feeling lazy to cook anything, because I got spoiled with all the pampering in India for full two and half months. Lot of help, no cooking. I was in Bombay for some time and wanted to meet you in person. But I was not sure whether you will meet. My daughter was insisting to see you. I thought, let me visit your website and I was sure to find something quick and yet healthy. So I am cooking now…………hope it comes out good.

  40. I came across your blog when I was cooking sarson da saag, since then I have just loved the way you explain recipes. I tried bisibelebath yesterday and came out really good. Other recipes like veg korma, cheese biscuits and many others were successful.

    Thanks a lot and wish you all the success.5 stars

  41. The headings of most of your recipes are incorrect. For example, you gave the heading “how to make bisi bele bath recipe at home”. It should be “how to make bisi bele bath at home”. The world ‘recipe’ should not figure in that. Please check all the dishes’ headings and remove “recipe” from them. Otherwise, it is a great guide for novices like me.

    1. sriram, thanks for appreciating the site and your feedback. the recipe word is added for technical reason. otherwise, you would not have found this blog in google search results.

  42. This is entirely different from what i make 😀 , i cook one by one in the same pan like veggies first, then dal then rice and finally the masala’s along with the tempering. I loved this method too .
