Bisi Bele Bath is an authentic and by far the most distinctive dish of Karnataka which is prepared with a unique combination of Rice,lentil(dhal),assorted veggies and other ground spices.It is very similar to 'Sambar Sadham' of Tamil Nadu except that, it has his own distinct flavour.Ideal to have this dish for lunch.
There are different ways of preparing this dish.Here is one way of preparation from my end.
Zucchini is a summer squash which belongs to cucumber family. Had a couple of them at home and was breaking my head to come up a recipe to include this goody in our meal. Just then, when browsing my own site, a Thai yellow curry recipe, got displayed under the Google ads block, that's it!! a great idea popped up. This particular dish, usually comes with loads of zucchini squash combined with bell peppers and tastes similar to our kurma. Voila!!! that's how Zucchini kurma made its way into Spiceindiaonline.
Upkari is a term used for any stir fry dishes in Konkani. This dish would be primarily made with any one veggie with the combination of potatoes. Here I've made an attempt to combine cabbage with potatoes, lightly tempered, well seasoned with soft channa dal and garnished with fresh grated coconut.
Here is an easy tasty preparation to include Bitter Gourd in our meal.

Chinese style Chicken Manchurian. This is not the typical manchurian you get in a fancy Indian restaurants, totally different kind of preparation, only some Chinese restaurants in India serve this dish. Usually regular chicken manchurian means chicken dipped in batter deep fried and added to gravy, whereas here…. chicken is mixed with some veggies, made into small kolas(Urundai/dumplings/koftas) , deep fried and then added to the gravy. Sure everyone would love this preparation, quite time consuming but worth a try.
Baingan means Brinjal / Eggplant / Aubergine and Bharta means Mashed. Baingan Bharta (Mashed Eggplant ) is a punjabi dish, prepared in unique way. Roasting in clay oven is the secret to make this dish to get that special aroma.
