Instant pot millet bisi bele bath, Millet bisi bele bath

Instant pot millet bisi bele bath/ Barnyard millet bisi bele bath is a scrumptious, wholesome and healthy one pot meal prepared by cooking millet, dal and veggies in freshly ground bisi bele bath powder then topped with tempering consisting of ghee, cashews and curry leaves.

Traditionally bisi bele bath is prepared with rice like this BISI BELE BATH which I have replaced with millets to keep it healthy as I always say and also to get back to the roots. Millets are super food with umpteen health benefits and I always love to make variety of dishes like cake, biscuit, poori, sweet and much more. Love to know about those check below:

Those recipes are here:

This dish is almost same like the one I posted little earlier like INSTANT POT BARNYARD MILLET SAMBAR SADAM so you can try making it if you like Tamil Nadu sambar sadam with millets.


I know I know talking too much of health today which is surely a contradicting post compared to yesterday 😂😂 would you like to know what it is?? Its this : VIRUDHUNAGAR PORICHA PAROTTA – once in a while delicacy I feel.
Back to the recipe I have used freshly ground powder like this  Bisi Bele Bath Powder as I like the taste and freshness from the homemade ones but if you don’t have time you could get store bought ones too. Also I have not added green peas in the recipe but if you like you could add it. So let’s get to the making of Barnyard millet bisi bele bath!!
