Simple yet aromatic, Bisi Bele Bath is a traditional Indian rice preparation with authentic spicing. This vegetarian dish is a family kitchen staple that adds variety and flavor to everyday meals.
Rinse basmati rice and toor dal separately until water runs clear; soak both in water for at least 20 minutes.
Dice carrot, potato, tomato, and onion; slice green beans. In a pot, add soaked rice, dal, all vegetables (carrot, green beans, potato, peas, onion, tomato), 4 cups water, and turmeric powder.
Bring mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and cook for 20–25 minutes until rice and dal are soft but not mushy.
Heat vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium heat; add mustard seeds and let them splutter, then add curry leaves and asafoetida, sauté for 30 seconds.
Add bisi bele bath masala powder to the oil, stir for 10 seconds to release aroma. Pour this tempering over the cooked rice-dal mixture, add salt, and mix thoroughly.
Simmer all together on low heat for 5 minutes for flavors to meld and the texture to become creamy, adjusting salt as needed. Serve hot.
