Ingredients

The rich, layered flavour of MTR Bisibelebath Masala comes from a traditional blend of whole and ground spices:

• Coriander (Dhania) – the aromatic base of the blend, adding warmth and earthiness
• Red Chilli – provides the characteristic heat balanced perfectly for the dish
• Chana Dal (Split Chickpea) – roasted for a nutty depth that is unique to South Indian masalas
• Urad Dal (Black Gram) – adds body and a subtle richness to the spice profile
• Cinnamon (Dalchini) – contributes warm, sweet undertones
• Cloves (Lavang) – adds intensity and a slightly pungent aroma
• Cardamom (Elaichi) – brings a floral, fragrant note to the blend
• Black Pepper – adds sharpness and enhances the overall spice depth
• Cumin (Jeera) – earthy and slightly smoky, a key flavour anchor
• Fenugreek (Methi) – adds a mild bitterness that balances the richness of the dish
• Curry Leaves – dried and blended for that unmistakable South Indian aroma
• Dry Coconut – adds a subtle sweetness and creamy texture to the masala
• Turmeric (Haldi) – gives the dish its golden colour and anti-inflammatory properties
• Salt – pre-balanced so you can adjust seasoning to taste

3. Heat 2 tbsp ghee or oil in a large pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
4. Add 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, peas, potato) and sauté for 3–4 minutes.
5. Add the cooked dal, cooked rice, and 2–3 teaspoons of MTR Bisibelebath Masala. Mix well.
6. Add tamarind water (from a small lemon-sized ball of tamarind soaked in warm water) and salt to taste.
7. Simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a thick, porridge-like consistency.
8. Finish with a tempering of ghee, cashews, and curry leaves. Serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

• Traditional style – serve piping hot with a generous drizzle of ghee and papad on the side
• With raita – a cooling cucumber or onion raita balances the spice beautifully
• Tiffin box – Bisibelebath travels well and makes an excellent packed lunch
• Topped with boondi – a popular Karnataka serving style for added crunch

Tip: The dish thickens as it cools – add a splash of warm water and reheat gently to restore the ideal consistency.
