Bisi bele bath is a Karnataka recipe. Bisi bele bath is a lentil rice recipe which should be served hot only. We need to prepare a powder for this. If the powder is freshly made the rice tastes awesome. We can keep the powder ready to save time, of course that too tastes good. I like to prepare this with fresh powder only.
