Recipe Bisi Bele Bath

Bisi Bele Bath is a classic dish from the cuisine of Karnataka, South India. The name literally means "hot lentil rice" in Kannada.
 
This heartwarming dish combines rice, toor dal (a type of lentil), and a rich variety of vegetables and spices. It is known for its unique taste that comes from the special Bisi Bele Bath masala, a spice mixture typical of this dish.
 
It is often served with a dollop of ghee (clarified butter) and crispy boondi or potato chips.
