Bisi Bele Bhaat Recipe Kit

Sorry, not available right now £2.99

Sorry, the Bisi Bele Bhaat Recipe Kit is no longer available. We offered it as a special product during and after the first British Dal Festival.

Bisi bele bhaat is a spicy rice and dal dish from Hyderabad in the South of India. Made from vegetables, rice and split yellow peas all cooked together, it’s cheap, quick, easy to make and a fantastic spicy alternative to risotto. The dish is cooked and topped with a spice blend known as a podi powder, which contains various toasted seeds, lentils and coconut flakes. As well as the podi powder, on the side there's a hot tamarind chutney, cooling yogurt, fresh coriander and lemon for a bit of additional tang.

We've teamed up with The Spicery to offer this tasty Bisi Bele Bhaat Recipe Kit in the run-up to the first British Dal Festival.

The kit includes:

Tempering Spices and Turmeric for the Bisi Bele Bhaat
Podi Powder to spice up coconut for the dish and garnish

Cooking instructions

Full cooking instructions are provided as part of the kit.

Notes on Cooking Dried Pulses

Cooking times for dried pulses will be longer at higher altitudes and when cooking with hard water or older pulses.

Adding bicarbonate of soda during soaking and/or cooking will soften the pulses and reduce the cooking time.

Cooked pulses can be used immediately or frozen for later use.
