( Hot n Tasty Sambar rice )

Happy Father’s Day…!!!

Here is my Dad’s Special recipe. Bisibelabath. This is a famous rice dish of South India. I thought it must be a difficult recipe to try. Now I learnt this recipe from one of our neighbor aunty from Mangalore. This taste of this rice dish is simply authentic and out of this world!

You can add any vegetables of your choice to Bisibelabath. Since it is cooked with lentils, vegetables and rice, this can be called a one pot meal.
