This is a traditional rice lentil dish/porridge from the state of karnataka. It is very nutritious as it has the goodness of mixed veggies. The taste and the flavour comes from the special homemade bisi bele bath masala and the tempering that is poured on the end product. It is a one-pot meal which is relished with papad or chips. I like mine with some pickles as an accompaniment.
