Bisi Bele Bhat Making Made Easier

Bisi bele bhat ( or actually bisi bele huli anna in kannada literally means hot lentil tamarind rice ) is a very popular delicacy among south indian cuisine.. since it involves a large number of ingredients, getting it right is a little of an art .. requires one or two attempts to perfect it .. here is how it is made:
First off you cook in a pressure cooker, equal quantities of rice with toor dall .. adding any of your preferred vegetables typically, potatoes, brinjals, beans, carrots, peas ( capsicum also, not shown here ) .. you can add any one or all . or even none of the vegetables and keep aside... then you mix about one or two or three ( depending upon whether you want it spicy) heaped teaspoons of nalgari powder in tamarind juice .. and keep aside.. then in a kadai, heat some cooking oil and add to it some chick peas with husk, some peanuts, and karepak.. optionally some hing ( asafoetida ) .. wait for the peanuts to fry fully.. then pour the tamarind juice into oil and wait a couple of minutes till the juice just begins to boil.. at this stage add the cooked (rice+dall+vegetables) mixture into the kadai and mix thoroughly .. wait till the mass just begins to boil and thicken a bit ( it thickens much more when cooled ) .. turn off the heat .. add salt, and some grated coconut.. and
EAT!
Note: It is served with a little ghee,, and additionally some papads go well with it .. in case you need

Man, you are awesome! What I like most about your videos is the simplicity with which you present these in a no-fuss fashion. Your spirit is unbeatable. You rock Sir! Thanks a ton.

btw...why don't you 'appear' in your videos just like so many others do? Asking this just out of curiosity.

[oldernwiser0]

thanks a lot for your very encouraging comments..i really appreciate them ! and why dont i appear in my videos ? well i found this the easy and quick way to get the video off, i dont need any body's help, i dont need to know video editing and the main 'story' in the video is enacted by the ingredients that go into making the recipe, and my appearance may not add any value to the video, ( may deduct, i fact !)... so ... ( actually, i'm very lazy to do all that it takes to make an appearance):)

Nice, thank you for the video sir.

Appreciate your effort in bringing this great stuff. However you haven't paid any attention to the photography part and the cleanliness. Movie clips are dull and unclear. I'm sure you can make better videos.
