Bisi bele bath or Bisi Bele huli anna is a traditional Karnataka food that is prepared in almost every
kannadigas home. The authentic recipe is a no onion and no garlic recipe, as it is a popular and special
dish among the vegetarian folks who do not eat onions and garlic. It does not call for onions, instead
fresh coconut or poppy seeds or dry coconut is used. There are many modern versions of bisi bele bath.
Iam sharing the recipe I got from our Hassan based chef during our stay in Bangalore. I have been
cooking this for years now and has always turned out to be the best. This recipe yields bisi bele bath
that tastes almost the same that is served in MTR.

Bisi meaning hot (temperature), bele meaning lentils and huli meaning sour, anna meaning rice. Bisi bele
bath is dal and rice cooked together with tamarind and spice powders. As the name suggests it has to
be served hot. It tastes best when seasoned in ghee and served hot.
To make bisi bele bath, you can use store bought powder, MTR works the best. Iam also sharing an
easy bisi bele bath powder recipe that smells great and is aromatic to give that authentictouch.
Rice and dal can be cooked together or separately. I like to make my dal mushy but not the rice, so i
cook the rice grainy but fully cooked. I also cook them separately so that the rice doesnt get mushy but
the dal is cooked to smooth which gives the creamy taste to the bisi bele bath. If you like to have both
mushy, then you can cook rice and dal together.

2. I cover the rice bowl with a plate, place another bowl with dal and cover. cook 1/2 cup dal with 1 cup
water. Pressure cook for 3 whistles on a medium ?ame.
3. While the rice cooks, Make the bisi bele bath powder.Skip this if using MTR powder. Dry roast the
ingredients one after the other including coconut to make the spice powder. These proportions work
great hence i suggest sticking on to the quantity mentioned. If you have marti moggu you can use but
can be skipped as well. These should be roasted on a medium to low ?ame to get a deep color without
burning that gives a good color to the ;nal dish. If not using shallots you can use fresh coconut, roast it
lightly and use to make powder.

7. Extract the tamarind water and Set aside little. In case we need more it can be used. Add salt, jaggery
and stir well until the jaggery melts oF. I prefer to ;lter it to a bowl to remove debris from tamarind or
jaggery.
8. Add the ground powder and mix well. Set this aside.
9. When the rice and dal are cooked. Mash the dal well. This gives a creamy nice texture to the dish.

12. Pour 1 cup water to the pan and cook till the veggies are just done. Do not over cook, keep them
slightly crunchy.

17. This is the right consistency of bisibelebath. So We need to cook until the rice reaches this thick
gooey consistency. Overcooking may make the rice dry or thick and lumpy.
18. Heat ghee in a pan. Add cashews, red chilies, mustard and red chili. When the mustards begin to
splutter, add curry leaves and hing. This step can be skipped by doing the seasoning before frying the
veggies and then follow the rest of the steps. But a ;nal vagarne / seasoning adds a good touch to the
dish.
19. Pour this to the cooked rice dal and stir. Karnataka style bisibelebath or huli anna is ready

Hi swasthi.
I made this recipe many times with just 1 cup rice and it was yummy
I am planning to make this for a party for about 20 people I am just worried
And suggestions? ??
Thank u
Reply
swasthi says
Hi Priya,
Bisibelebath is good to eat when it is hot. If not hot, then you will have to reheat it
just before serving by adding more water , allowing it to cook until it bubbles. After
this the quantity really becomes too much. This is one thing to note. When we
make this in bulk, the quantity really becomes very large than what we can
imagine due to the gooey consistency. So i think if you increase the quantity of
ingredients by 4 times, you will get good enough for 20 folks. Since this is for a
party, you may be planning many other dishes as well, so i am sure 4 times of this
recipe should be good enough. Adjust the red chillis in the bisibelebath powder.
You can also use mtr powder. Hope this helps. Do share with us how it turned out.

Hi swasthi! Wanted to try this but have a doubt. You have mentioned about freshly
grated coconut. But how and which point of cooking should we use this? I bought the
packed frozen grated coconut. Can i use this. Please advise.
Reply
swasthi says
Hi madhavi,
you can use frozen coconut, you can add it after sauteing the veggies and stir till
you get a nice coconut aroma. OR it can be added along with tamarind mix.Have a
wonderful day
