The taste and aroma of bisibelebath mainly depends on its masala powder, which we prepare. There are many variations in making masala powder, each person prepares it in a different way, each region/place has its own variations.
I myself has posted so many combinations in which we can prepare bisibelebath powder in this blog. But this time while preparing bisibelebath using rice flakes/poha/avalakki I followed this particular variation ⇒ bisibelebath ….like made in marriages/functions.
Authentic recipe of rice flakes/poha/avalakki bisibelebath uses yellow lentil/moong dal/hesarubele along with rice flakes unlike bisibelebath made using rice & pigeon peas/tuvar dal/togaribele.
Therefore in this recipe I have used moong dal/hesarubele, thick red rice flakes, mixed vegetables and non pungent masala powder, which resulted in a yummy, full of fragrance, tummy filling delicious bisibelebath. The below mentioned quantity of ingredients is enough for four servings.

PROCEDURE :
