Bisi Bele Bhath
Bisi Bele Bhath is a Karnataka dish very similar to our Tamil Nadu dish sambar sadham but the strong spice masala varies it from our sambhar sadham/Rice.Bisi Bele Bhath means "Hot-lentil-Rice" in Kannada.The dish taste so good and this is quite commonly made in my house during my college days.My husband loves it so I make it very frequently.This dish is very famous in restaurants.Its tasty and healthy,though ghee is added a lot to this guilt shouldn't be felt.Sometimes its not possible to control the want.Don't feel guilty sometimes good food comes with extra weight/Calories its okay enjoy your meal to your heart fullest and then lets do extra miles by walking next day.What do you say?????
