BISE BELA BATH I SAMBHAR SATHAM I PRESSURE COOKER RECIPES I LUNCH BOX RECIPES

Hi friends, nowadays in our family love sambhar satham much than any other variety rice and dash of ghee will enrich the flavour of sambhar satham. Bisebelabath, is my to-do list for long time with freshly ground spices. It must be apt for poor eater and kids too.

Bise-Bela-Bath is karnataka cuisine. I have one memory with the BBB. In my college days, we went to b'lore for our Industrial Visit, we used to have food in hotels only. I had one b'lore friend, and she said that BBB is very famous here so she suggested us to taste the BBB. So we also order and packed the BBB for our lunch, because we were went to one university which is out of city. While we were hungry, unpacked the BBB, still its hot and tempted to taste. But we were really very disappointed L The taste was not good, may be we did not liked the particular hotel taste. After that, we didn't give try to the BBB. After blogging, it was in my to-do list and now only got time to prepare it... but am sure its superb in taste and flavors of fresh spices.
