    Seventh day Neivedyam was Bisi Bele Bath, Kesari Bath, and Kadalai Paruppu Sundal. Since I have quite a few Bisi Bele Bath, I wanted to try a different proportion and I remembered Suma talking about her family recipe. I checked her recipe and it sounded so delicious. She didn't use peppercorn in the spice powder, rest were all almost the same. And she cooked over a pot. I never venture into cooking in pots or pans. It's mostly a pressure cooker for me.

    Even though it felt it might be time consuming cooking over a pan, I went ahead and made it. It was so delicious. The rice was gooey as it was supposed to be even by the afternoon for my lunch. The spice measurement might have been an eyeball throw as I can never measure myself. I was so happy that everybody loved it.

    I guess making in the pan differed from PC as it normally gets thick by afternoon. So for that, I should thank Suma.

    Bisi Bele Bath

    Ingredients Needed

    Raw Rice - 1 cup
    Toor Dal - 1/2 cup
    Vegetables - 3 cups (Beans, Carrot, Potato, Peas)
    Tamarind extract - 2 tbsp
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    Salt to taste
    Water - 6 cups (plus 4 cups)

    For the Spice powder

    Channa dal / Bengal Gram - 1 tsp
    Urad dal - 2 tsp
    Marati Mogga - 3
    Cloves - 2
    Cinnamon - 2
    Dry Red Chilies - 10 - 12
    Copra / Dry Coconut - 2 tsp

    For Tempering

    Ghee - 3 tbsp
    Cashew nuts
    Curry leaves
    Mustard Seeds

    How to make Bisi Bele Bath

    Wash and soak the rice.

    In a huge nonstick pan, take 6 cups of water, and add dal. Bring to boil. Then simmer and cook with lid covered for 10 -15 mins

    Then add the vegetables, rice, salt, turmeric powder, 3 cups water, continue cooking in simmer for another 15 mins.

    Meanwhile for the spice powder, dry roast all the ingredients and cool. Grind to a smooth powder and keep it aside.

    Now add the spice powder to the boiling rice, Ensure the rice is almost cooked.

    Next, add the tamarind extract and 1 more cup water depending on the texture.

    Finally, when the rice is cooked well, heat another pan with ghee, saute cashews, curry leaves and mustard. Once they splutter, pour into the cooked rice and serve.

    Notes:

    The entire cooking takes about an hour. I used about 10 cups of water in the end.
