We make this almost every weekend at home back in bangalore and for every single marriage reception too. Since I have been making this for many years, just thought of sharing a quick trick incase you dont have the authentic BBBath masala powder. You can use the regular sambhar powder, along with it add a tsp of fresh ground cinnamon powder and 1/4tsp nutmeg. This makes a ton of difference in flavour.. This is my upcoming recipe in my blog you are free to check out.. I am a very very new blogger and I wish all the bloggers a very happy holidays!!Great job guys in keeping the spirit of cooking so lively... <i>Hello Paru, Thanks for the neat tip. I will definitely follow. Congratulations on your new blog, I've already bookmarked several recipes to try from your blog. Great work, Keep it up! Happy Holidays! - Indira</i> Indira,

Or is the taste totally spoilt? I am dying to try this one out though...I've only eaten it at darshinis here in Bangalore.. Apu <i>Hi Apu, You know what, I also sometimes make bise bele masala with sambar powder.:) It turns out fine. Also, I believe that rice plays major role in bisi bele bhath taste. Unpolished variety (brown or rosematta rice) brings a lot of flavor to the preparation. Please try it like that. Bisi bele huli anna blessings to you. :) - Indira</i> Indira,

Havent seen a website like this in a while...i like your style of not to rename/alter the dishes(and vegetables) names. I tried bisibelebath--it turned out to be awesome, i just missed jaggery(i din have it at home), everything else i followed as it is. Awesome masala recipe. I also made your "Kottimeera pacchadi" it was awesome too, i too made it for our today's breakfast-Utappam :-). Its refreshing to see somebody devoting so much time for Vegeterian dishes. Thanks a lot for posting all these with so much passion, please keep doing it(as long as its practical to you). Hatsoff again!!!! <i>That's great to read and I am glad that recipes worked out for you. Thanks Mallik. - Indira</i> Hello Indira Gaaru,
