Busy busy bath comes handy when you want to cook something that is tasty and wholesome on a busy day. This is my version of Bisi bele bath, which is famous in Karnataka.
This mixed rice tastes like sambhar rice as it contains lentils and coconut and some spices common to sambhar. However, the key ingredient for busy busy bath is long pepper .
Ingredients:
Cooked rice -3cups
Shallots -1/2 cup
Split chick pea -3tbls
Tamarind paste -1tsp
Sugar -1tsp
Turmeric powder -1/2tsp
Mixed vegetable -1/2 cup
Grated coconut -4tbls
Mustard seeds -1tsp
Curry leaves -few
Salt and oil - as required
Spice powder -3tbls
Ingredients for spice powder:
Coriander seeds -2tsps
Cumin seeds -1tsp
Cardamom -3
Cloves -2
Long pepper -1tsp
Red chillies -6
Dry toast all the ingredients for spice powder and grind it to a fine powder.
Method to make busy bath:
Heat the mustard seeds and oil in a frying pan. When the mustard crackles, add the shallots, coconut and curry leaves. Fry till the coconut turns brown. Keep it aside.
Cook the split chick pea and the vegetables in a cup of water along with turmeric powder and salt. Add the tamarind paste, sugar, the spice powder and one more cup of water. Boil for few minutes, and then add the cooked rice.
Stir well and garnish with fried coconut mix.
