Hello Madhu,
Am posting a comment for the first time. Just wanted to say that you have wonderful site and love the way describe the procedure with most valued notes .
I tried your Bisebele Bath with brown rice and it turned out awsome!

Hi Madhuri, thank you so much for your valuble feedback and for trying the dish as well. I’m glad that you liked it. You should also try the brown rice pongal then.

Hi Madhu,
I’ve always wanted to try out dishes with brown rice but never found anything that would suite our taste buds! Finally found one gr8 comfort food here and tried it today… it was yummy… we luv it… do keep posting more recipes on brown rice…

Thank you very much for the feedback Madhu. You should also try the pongal, if you don’t make it already.

I am a little skeptical about brown rice . I have brown basmati rice for a long time …used them for tomato rice and was a disaster. With so many comments and the assurance from you, I am going to buy the brown long grain rice and make Bisi Bele Bath.

I’ve not used the brown basmati rice. But the long grain rice is good Cilantro. Use just 2 and 1/4 cups of water for 1 cup of rice, if you want to make fried rice or eat it with curries etc. If you want it nicely mashed for pongal, bisi bele bath etc use aroun 2 and 1/2 cups of water and leave it for 5-7 whistles.

Bisi bele bhaath is such a favorite at my home, and I love making it with brown rice too. Gotta try your recipe sometime. I love the presentation, Madhuram.

It was the first time I cooked Bise bele bath with brown rice and I don’t think I would be preparing it with white rice any more.

Looks yum, Madhu…I use brown rice all the time and find that it works best in bisi bele bath, khichdi and stuff like dosai and adai, it blends well there…also brown basmati tastes best

There seems to be a mini forum of discussions going on in your comments section Madhu

I make Brown rice BBB too and you are bang on! I end up eating far less than what I would when made with white rice…:)

I sent you mail with the entries..including the one u mentioned too Also for Mochai – I am really not sure , but I think its called as Val Dal in hindi which translates to field beans….Will try to search and confirm though
