BISI BELA BATH MASALA – HOW TO MAKE BISI BELA BATH MASALA

Bisi Bela Bath, an authentic traditional dish from Karnataka is my favorite from May 2015. Its when we made possible a long planned family outing to Bangalore and Mysore. Stayed in a guest house for 4 days and visited all possible attractions there.

That was my favorite outing because, the climate was very pleasant and every meal from any of the restaurant. A foodie like me would experiment on different dishes which i never got a chance to taste before.

When all others preferred a variety of crisp dosas and kichdis, i ordered Bisi bela bath. Name was familiar for me but never got a chance to taste. That is when i googled for Bisi bela bath recipes.

There came the famous Bisi bela Bath Masala. I never rely on Masala brought from stores. When i make Masalas at home, it becomes like a sort of something close to heart. I preserve them in air tight bottles and use whenever necessary

From all those recipes, i got after googling, did a few experiments on those and this Bisi Bela Bath Masala tasted good when i prepared Bisi Bela Bath. Whole family liked it and the dish vanished as it was steaming hot when i served for breakfast

Will post my Bisi Bela Bath recipe soon. Keep checking my blog for the best Bisi Bela Bath
