The intention of this blog is to keep a collection of the food I make so when I am stuck as to what I need to cook, I just have to look here.

Bisibelebath with Raita and Appalam

Pressure cook rice(with extra water than usual) and Sambar paruppu along with the vegetables(potato, carrot, peas, bell pepper, etc). Fry lots of sliced onions, tomato and diced ginger and garlic after the mustard seeds pop in oil. Then add tamarind water, sambar powder, turmeric powder and salt. After it cooks, add the dhal and vegetables. Then add MTR bisibelebath powder and after a couple of minutes, add mashed rice and required salt. Mix them together. It needs to be little watery so once the rice cools down, it will be the right consistency to eat. Add ghee and raita is the best side dish for this.
