Bisibelebath/ Curried Grain & Lentils
It is quite surprising that whenever this type of lengthy amount of time in your blog-o-sphere, I have not published the poster child of Kannadiga food! Used to do refer to it as the emperor of Kannadiga food too. Very can be not the emperor, personally it is usually Vangibath for me personally :) So certainly the king. And That I have met loads of people that have a tendency to consider only Bisibelebath as Kannadiga food, clubbing anything else as 'Madrasi' meaning 'South-Indian'. I recieve mad, seem like screaming 'folks, I'm just as much alien to 'Madrasi' culture/language/food while you are'. But what's the point convincing people that hardly be aware of distinction between Masale Dose and hang Dose. Ha!
It reminds of the cute friend, who obviously gone to live in Bangalore publish-software boom. As being a Bihari, he was hardly into South-Indian foods. He stored saying the Masala Dosa he once had, in Patna or anywhere it had been in Bihar, was a lot better than the things they make in Bangalore. and that he had significant problem with 'double beans' the large plump bean that's very costly and it is copiously utilized in Kannadiga Pulaos. I discovered it so funny. This time around after i was at India MIL desired to prepared Pulao and she or he is associated with that group of cooks who cannot proceed without all of the listed component, as well as in this situation it had been double beans and fresh peas. Therefore we got quater kilogram of every. The peas costed Rupees 40 per 1/4 kilo. The double beans costed Rupees 50 per 1/4 kilo. As the shelling the 2, I had been just thinking what my Bihar friend would do when we offered him the pulao on that day. This type of sheer waste right. However that's way they are saying, 'Loko-bhino-ruchi', that's taste isn't uniform.
Bisibelebath also jogs my memory of the puccha Delhite friend in Delhi. My mother made all nice bisibelebath with lots of ghee. My pal became of visit and my mother offered him a ladle filled with steaming bisibelebath. I had been so anxious to determine his reaction. He did appear to savor it. However me sank as he stated, " Auntyji, badiya hai, like Khichdi". Evaluating Khichdi to bisibelebath! exactly what a sacrilage. The 2 do not have anything in keeping except grain and also the consistency. Thankfully there have been other people who throughly enjoyed and extremely appreciated it.
Here comes my second love. Bisibelebath. This is exactly what my Doddamma had prepared whenever we visited her in Chikkanayakanahalli, Tumkur dist. She's a coconut plantation also it was lovely meal of Bisibelebath, obbattu etc. It had been a lot more enjoyable due to the Mutukada leaf plates that people been with them in. I can simply eat this way - plantain leaf or Mutukada leaf, and also the meal is going to be a lot better.

P.S. I'm adding this following a complaint from the cousin who increased in Bellary. He states hadn't sampled a great BBB till he gone to live in Tumkur! Which nobody in North Karnataka really calls BBB their very own..It is kind of very alien to individuals in the northern parts. And So I stand remedied and say BBB is extremely associated with South-Karnataka rather of just Karnataka. Also, he suggest I actually do something which highlights the regional cuisines of Karnataka. This is definitely a jabardast Idea.
I really like bisibelebath. This really is this kind of authentic karnataka food alva?
Howdu alva. Kannada food = Bisibelebath.
You actually are perfectly 100%right Kannada da oota andare bisi bisi bisibelebatu,obbattu nenpikku brothe allva hummmmm mouthwatering yummmmy.
for me personally, bisibelebhath may be the emperor of Karnataka food vangi bhath rules. I really like love bisibelebhath. I'm drooling here will prepare soon :)
BBB bagge estu baridru salalla bidi. Istu dina Mysore nalli idde, eega vapis bande nodi. Ammana last journey nalli palagolloke hogidwi. We miss her and definitely the BBB she used to create us whenever we were youthful.
I only wish there is a much better reason behind you absence each one of these day :( God bless.
Looks great! And offered around the leaf - classic!
Oh wow i sampled this at certainly one of my buddies house in Bangalore and you may express it was love initially bit. so yummy.
lol. loved your write down. u r so right concerning the generalizing of south indian food and calling it Madrasi. it can make me really mad. BBB looks scrumptious! I'd def go on and refer to it as the emperor. though I really like Vangibhaat, I wouldn't refer to it as completely a kannadiga dish bcoz from the telugu word 'Vangai' meaning eggplants. I really like the dish, however i still prefer placing BBB around the throne. D:D
@ Kitchen Flavours, Glad you want BBB!!
@Ramya. I kind of accept you. Cannot call Vangibath the emperor cos while you say it features a non-Kannada word in the title :)
Individuals foliage is awesome, it can make meals very authentic. BBB illa andhre kannadiga oota ne alla.
Howdalva Namratha. I'm so happy that there are plenty of people who became of love BBB :)

DA! I don't add Drumsticks to Bisibelebhat either. But should you without providing them with all mushed up I'd think it fine.

Just managed to get for any party yesterday. It switched out great. I added2regular spicy chillies to improve heat just a little and used peanuts in tadka combined with the other ingredients. It had been awesome. Just recipe. Jayanthi Sridhar
Thanks Jayanthi. I'm so glad that your family loved it
hello there s no reference to tamarind juice the primary component within the preparation of BBB. Ur facts are useless as it doesn't add up to preparation of BBB. Pl check
Yes To be sure there cannot 't be BBB without having Tamarind. Although not always tamarind juice, tamarind works too. Please feel the listing of ingredients carefully and you'll find tamarind listed.
Appreciate if you're able to send one minute many lookup the components list before complaining!
