BISSI BELE BHAATH / HULIANNA ( Karnataka Style Sambar Rice)


Sambar rice is prepared with a little variation in all the Southern States of India. This is a Karnataka style recipe. .. they also call it Hulianna. It is a wholesome one pot meal as it has rice, dal and many vegetables added to it while cooking. The consistency is usually softer like khichdi. Some like to add ghee / clarified butter just before serving. It tastes awesome with fried appalams.
