Cooking Steps
Method:
Step 1 :
This recipe can be easily made in a pressure cooker. Place the pressure cooker on medium heat, add some oil and let it heat.
Step 2 :
Once the oil is hot, add in the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and asafoetida and let it crackle. Now add the chopped onions and sauté it until it turns golden brown.
Step 3 :
Once the onions are cooked, add the mixed vegetables and allow them to cook for a minute. Now add all the seasonings, like turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, sambar masala and salt. If you have a ‘bisi bele bath’ masala, then you can use it instead of the garam masala and sambar masala.
Step 4 :
Now add the washed and soaked dal and rice and mix it well. Add the required amount of water along with the turmeric pulp.
Step 5 :
Check the seasonings once, close the pressure cooker and cook for 3-4 whistles.
Step 6 :
Once the pressure from the whistles is off, open the cooker and check the consistency. If you prefer your bisi bele bath a little mushy and soft, then add some more water and gently mash it slightly. If not, then just mix it well. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Step 7 :
This can be consumed as it is, or you can also add a simple tempering to it.
Step 8 :
In a tempering pan, add some ghee and fry some cashews in it until they are nice and pink. Remove the cashews and put aside. In the same heated ghee, add mustard seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and dry red chillies. Let everything crackle, and then add the cashews and pour the tempering over the bisi bele bath.
Step 9 :
Serve hot and enjoy with curd.
