Oats bisi bele bath recipe | Sambar oats

By swasthi , on July 20, 2019, 8 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Oats bisi bele bath recipe with step by step photos – A quick, nutritious, wholesome and delicious oats recipe that can be made for lunch or dinner. Bisi bele bath is one of traditional dishes from karnataka which is made of rice, lentils, spice powder and tamarind. It is similar to the tamil sambar sadam or the sambar rice, but is different in flavor due to the addition of marati moggu, cinnamon and cloves.

In this recipe, rice is replaced with oats. Either bisi bele bath powder or sambar powder can be used to suit your liking. I have made this the same way a traditional karnataka style bisi bele bath is made but used fresh sambar powder which i shared below.

How to make sambar oats

1. Wash ¼ cup toor dal few times and pressure cook for 1 whistle if cooking directly. If placing dal in a bowl and then in a large cooker, pressure cook for 3 whistles. While the dal cooks you can dry roast ingredients for sambar powder. Cool completely and powder them. You can also use ready made powder. Soak tamarind in little hot water. Squeeze and extract the juice or paste. Keep this aside.

4. Add oats. You can use rolled oats or instant oats. If you wish you can roast them first and add. You can also skip roasting. Sambar oats don’t turn sticky since a good amount of sambar or bisibele bath powder is used.

5. When the oats are cooked, add sambar powder. It can also be added later to the cooked veggies after step 10.

6. Add salt, tamarind paste or juice. I prefer to soak tamarind in hot water and then filter the juice. Simmer for 4 minutes to bring out the flavor of sambar powder. If needed add more water to adjust the consistency.

      Hi Shravani,
      The recipe doesn’t call for powdering the oats. It got slimy because you powdered it. Hope this helps.
