Bisi Bele Bath
Bisi Bele Bath is a Kannada word meaning hot lentil rice. It is basically rice and daal cooked together, adding few veggies and spices and then given a tempering. It is best served hot along with kara boondi, papad or cool raita.

Bisi Bele Bath is a no onion, no garlic recipe.

Bisi Bele Bath is a very popular breakfast menu in the state of Karnataka and is prepared in every Kannadiga's home. Having being staying in Karnataka for the past 8 years, I have tuned myself to the taste of local flavors.

For this recipe you can cook the daal and rice either separately or together, I usually cook it together to ease my process. Bisi bele bath powder is usually prepared from scratch in the homes of Kannadigas, whereas I use MTR brand spice mix widely available in the stores here.
