Bagalabath is one of the most common items you can find on a South Indian restaurant menu card. This is nothing but simple curd rice. Bagalabath is considered as a coolant and so eaten at the end of a meal thus easing out the effects of spicy main dishes/starters. A South Indian meal is considered incomplete without Bagalabath!

Serves:
2 to 4

Preparation Time:
10-minutes.

Cooking Time:
20-minutes

Ingredients:
Rice - ½ cup		 
 Ghee - 1 tsp 
 Black Mustard Seeds - ½ tsp 
 Chana Dal - ½ tsp 
 Urid Dal - ½ tsp

Method:
• Wash rice in a bowl, changing water several times until the water appears clear.

• Add 1 cup of water to the rice and pressure cook till you get 4 whistles or until it becomes soft and mushy.

• To make the tempering, heat ghee in a pan, add mustard seeds, chana dal, blackgram, cumin seeds, curry leaves, ginger and green chillies. Add this immediately to the rice and mix well.

• Then add yogurt, milk and salt - Mix well.

• Garnish with cilantro and cashews and enjoy this south Indian touch!
