Bisi Bele Bath Powder

Make your own traditional Karnataka style Bisi Bele Bath Powder from scratch and take your Bisi Bele Bath a notch higher. Here is a tried and tested recipe of how to make Bisi Bele Bath Masala at home.

Today, I am walking down the memory lane. When I first came to Bangalore, Bisi Bele Bath introduced me to the Karnataka dishes. A very caring and  loving neighbour aunty specially brought it for the lunch while I was busy settling down in the new home.

Bisi Bele Bhat was steaming hot, spicy and very satiating. After eating a bowlful, I was very keen on knowing the recipe for Bisi Bele Bhat. I was really fortunate that the aunty was very humble to share it with me.

The secret for making Bisi Bele Bath is to make the masala fresh at home. These days, Bisi bele bath powder is readily available in stores. If you do not have the luxury of time and are running late, you may easily buy Bisi Bele Bhat Masala. However, I recommend that if you make Bisi bele bath Powder at home then the Bhat would taste way delicious than you expect!

The authentic recipe of Bisi Bele Bath Powder recommends the usage of ‘Marathi Moggu’ or ‘kapok buds‘. These are clove like spices with a musky aroma and gives an authentic taste to the masala. These are easily available in the stores in Karnataka but I am not sure if I have seen them anywhere else. You can order them online if these are not available or replace it with cloves.

For preparing Bisi Bele Bath Masala Powder Recipe, we also use two types of chilies. Byadgi chilies and Guntur chilies. Byadgi chilies grant a nice deep red color to the masala whereas the Guntur chilies make the masala spicy. You may use these chillies as per your preference and balance the spiciness.

It’s always great to make this powdered bisi bele bhat mix and keep it ready in your house so that you can whip up a delicious bowl of bisi bele bath in no time at all. Amongst other powder recipes, this bisi bele bhat recipe is sure to make your lunch or dinner preparation a whole lot easierand tastier too.
