Bisi bele bath is a popular dish that is served in Southern India, usually in restaurants serving Udupi cuisine.

The traditional Bisi Bele Bath recipe is quite an elaborate process. The split peas, rice and vegetables are all cooked separately. There is also a special spice blend that needs to be either made from scratch or bought for this dish, along with the some non general grocery store ingredients like tamarind and curry leaves.

Today’s recipe is my One pot Pressure cooker version! Dry roast some spices to make a somewhat bisi bele bath spice blend, then put everything in the pressure cooker. 20 minutes later you have a meal! Serve with salads, papadums, potato chips or other crackers. Easier, faster and equally delicious.

The soup generally has a flavorful complex and sour flavor profile. Use whatever spices you have. A few here and there will still make a flavorful meal.





The soup thickens and thickens by the next day. See above.
