how to make bisi bele bath powder

Authentic Karanataka style Bisi bele bath recipe is in my try list for years i should say.I have tasted it in few restaurants here and in some of my friend’s houses.But still i have not yet tasted this awesome bisi bele bath in its birth place,yes in MTR restaurant. I had been to MTR once with my friends but unfortunately i couldn’t taste bisi bele bath in their full meals menu. Instead they served some veg pulao which i didn’t like it too.I found from the waiter that bisi bele bath is available only on Sundays. Long back i had shared South Indian style bisi bele bath recipe but that’s just our Tamil nadu version.So i always look for the recipe of authentic Karnataka style bisibelebath and i have tried quite a few of them from various blogs.Of course they tasted good but still i felt something was missing. When i asked to share the correct recipe to my school moms friends,some of them told me to use MTR bisi bele bath powder (BBB powder) but Nagalakshmi shared her family recipe with powder. Based on the ingredients she told & by watching an youtube video, i tried this bisi bele bath powder at home for the first time.I also prepared bisibelebath rice using this fresh,flavorful,homemade powder. It came out really well & the taste was awesome!!It was just upto the mark as i expected.We all loved it especially my in-laws.So this powder is the star ingredient to make a perfect bisi bele bath. Hence i wanted to showcase this powder recipe by making a separate post.Once u make n store this powder, u can prepare bisi bele bath in just 15 minutes.Ok,lets see how to make bisi bele bath powder at home easily.Sorry,i couldn’t take stepwise pictures as i was in a hurry.I will try to update this post with step by step pictures.My next target is to make a perfect vangibath powder. Hope I will do it very soon.

Please check out my Bisi bele bath recipe using this powder.

    Hi Chitra..for authentic bisi bela bath powde.. don't we need to add dry coconut (kopra).
    Ps I like your blog and way of explaining.

      Hi varsha,Thanks. there are versions with kopra.As i add coconut in bisibelabath i don't add in powder. I feel shelf life oof powder may reduce by adding kopra:)
