After enjoying 4 months with our family, last month, we moved here. Oh my, the last 4 months, I hardly went to the kitchen. Learnt some new recipes and many tips both from my mom and from my in-law. Even though I enjoyed regular food like a rice, sambar, curry and rasam, all the time I ended up with a new taste. Wonder how the tastes differs from person to person.
Now I am back to my den, our new home with a big open kitchen. Tuning up slowly to my routines. As a result of 4 months enjoyment me and Karthik put on lot of weight. So we both took an oath to get back into our shape again.
As a result of that, here comes an healthy recipe 'Bisibelabath' from my new kitchen.
I moved last week to this home, with some basic ingredients. With that I wanted to try something different and the same time healthy. While this was in back of my mind, I was chatting with one of my friend and a fellow blogger, Priti singh from Indian Khana. While I was talking to her, I came across this recipe from her blog. Tadaan a flash in me, why can't I try bisibelabath using cracked wheat.
Ingrdients: 1 cup -- Cracked wheat 1/4 cup -- Toor dal 3 tbsp -- Chana dal** 2 cup -- Diced vegetables ** 3 tsp -- Tamarind paste** 2 tbsp -- Chilli powder** Salt as per taste ** Tamarind and chilli powder put according to your taste. ** Diced vegetables - You can put according to your taste. I would strongly recommend Red Pumpkin or squash, green capsicum, drum stick. ** Chana dal is optional. Adding this will give a wonderful texture and taste. For seasoning : Oil, Chana dal, Urad dal, Mustard seeds, 2-3 Red chilli, Asafoetida Method : As Priti has mentioned in Indian Khana blog, we have many ways to make this dish. I tried my mom's way. But we do put our secret bisibelabath mixture to enhance the taste. Since I did not have a mixer, I did without the secret mixture. --- Take a pressure pan and add cracked wheat, toor dal and chanadal along with the diced vegetables. --- Add 3 cups of water and pressure cook. Leave only one whistle and turn off the cooking --- Once the pressure is released, open the cooker and add the tamarind paste, chilli powder and salt. --- Again pressure cook it for 2 more whistles. --- When the pressure is released, bisibelabath is ready. --- Add the seasoning to the above mixture and serve hot with crunchy vadam. |
Easy, healthy one pot meal is ready to serve. There will not be much difference from the regular bisibelabath to this.
