Made this one pot meal and it was delectable to say the least The healthier twist in the tale was the use of brown rice which was pre soaked n half cooked brown rice prior to the pressure cooking ....Thanku for such awesome recipes

Bisi Bele Bhaat is a complete meal by itself. Loved the coconut based paste, mixed vegetables cooked in a rice and dal mixture.

A very important ingredient - Jaggery was omitted from the recipe.

Tarla Dalal    As this recipe is a spicy rice, we have not added, if you wish you can add 1 tsp of jaggery to the bhath. Happy cooking!!
