    Aww.. Lip smacking isn’t it J There are also ready-made Masala powder if you have time constrains you can opt that too. The very first time I tasted Bisi bele bath in my Office Food Court, I dint like the taste that much as it had a strong flavor and once again after few months I happened to taste this heaven in MTR. I was like in heaven. It was then I fell for this delicious goodness. After that I  used to prepare this very often in home .Now let’s get started.
