Broken wheat bisibele bath Recipe | How to make godhi kadi bisibele bath | Dalia bisi bele bath recipe

 


Prep Time         10 Minutes
Cooking Time   30 Minutes
Serves 4


Ingredients :




  • Broken wheat - Dalia 3/4 cup
  • Toor Dal 1/4 cup
  • Green gram or moong dal 1/4 cup
  • Tamarind 1 Lemon sized
  • Jaggery 1 Tablespoon – depending on the sweetness you wish
  • Bisibele bhath powder / Sambar/Garam masala powder 2 Tablespoon
  • Red Chilli Powder 1 Tablespoon
  • Ghee 2 tablespoons
  • Salt to taste


Recipe Video :





Vegetables :


The following vegetables cut in 1” length

  • Beans 
  • Onion 
  • Potato 
  • Tomato
  • Curry leaves
  • Coriander leaves

Fresh peas or Hyacinth Bean - Avarekalu 1 cup ( If you have neither, then you can use peanuts. But Avarekalu tastes best. In the season if you get Jackfruit seeds, you use them. After Avarekalu, they are the next best :-) )

PS : Here I would like to mention that the choice of vegetables is entirely yours. If there is a plus or minus, it is absolutely no problem.

  

For Tadka :





  • Oil 1 tablespoon
  • Mustard seeds 1 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder ½ teaspoon
  • Hing 


 Preparation :





  • Soak tamarind in water.
  • In a cooker cook daal along with vegetables and broken wheat in separate containers.
  • For broken wheat generally we add water at 1:2 proportion. But here, you need to put a little more water so that the broken wheat is cooked soft.
  • Once it cools down, in a thick bottomed kadai, heat oil and add mustard seed. Once they splutter, add turmeric powder and hing. 
  • Squeeze the tamarind pulp in it and add 2 glasses of water and let it come to a boil.
  • While it is boiling, add jaggery, red chilli powder, bisibele bhath powder, salt and curry leaves and let it boil for another 5-6 minutes till it gives some fine aroma.
  • Then add the dal cooked with veggies, add water if required and boil for five more minutes.
  • Add the cooked dalia, mix well and taste to check if you need some more salt, chilli powder Sambar powder or jaggery. 
  • Cook on low fire.
  • The bisi bele bhath at this point should be quite liquid. If you make it solid at this point, later on it will turn still hard. The best option would be to get a right liquid consistency at this point and still add half a glass of water and cook for just a few seconds and turn off the gas. So even if you eat it after hours, it will remain liquid and light.
  • Add ghee and garnish with finely chopped coriander and cover for five minutes.
  • Serve hot with Raita, Boondi kaalu or chips.

  • Those of you who love methi flavour can add some finely chopped methi leaves for taste.

 Recipe video : 




Preparation :





  • Take the sprouted moth seeds - madaki kalu with little salt cooked to one whistle. Use the hot water in which you have cooked the sprouts to mix the dough because it helps the rottis to become very light and crisp and flaky.
  • Mix all the above ingredients, knead well and set aside for 5-10 minutes. Make small round balls, the size of an orange.
  • Heat a thick bottomed kadai. Hold it upside down under running cold water till the heat evaporates.
  • Put in 4-5 spoons groundnut oil inside the kadai. 
  • Take one ball of dough, flatten in the kadai and press lightly around, spreading it evenly into a round roti. 
  • Press it as thin as possible.
  • Cook the rotti rotating kadai around to take care that rotti is cooked into golden brown all around. 
  • You will know that the roti is cooked perfectly when you can see the edges around turning into golden brown.
  • Serve hot with butter and Chutney.


Happy Cooking :-)





PS : Which are the points that make your rotti light and crisp??? 

  • Always mix the dough in the hot water.
  • Press rotti thin and flatten evenly.
  • The rottis should always be cooked over high flame, taking care to rotate the kadai to see that it is not over cooked. If you cook over low flame, the rottis will turn hard.
