Here is the recipe for Bisi Bele Bath.

The important ingredient in this recipe is the dried red chillies. Its the Karnataka Byadagi chillies. BAY-DIG-GAY as its pronounced, Byadagi Chillies come from the Haveri district in Karnataka. The chilli is long and wrinkled and deeply red. Its not very hot but imparts a dark color and aroma. Its not a very spicy variety of chilli. So if you can get Byadagi chillies, its good. Else you can use Kashmiri chillies. Click here to Buy Byadagi chillies online

    Researched Cinnamon. There are two kinds – one from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) (Cinnamomum verum or C. zeylanicum) and the other from China, Indonesia and Vietnam (cassia cinnamon). Cassia cinnamon is a different plant and it contains a lot of coumarin, a toxin which can damage kidney, liver and lungs if consumed in quantity. The former is lot more expensive and hence what you buy from stores is mostly the latter cheaper one. Ceylon cinnamon is lighter in color and the layers are thinner like paper and easily crumbles. Knowing potential problem with cassia, my preference is to use ceylon cinnamon even though it is more expensive. It is easily available in the USA, where I live. Hope this helps.

    By the way, our family is eating BBB twice a day and have seen better blood sugar control and we are Type 2 diabetics. Would like to get feed back from other diabetics who tried Bisi Bele Bath. Thanks.

    Is it necessary to add two different chillies? I don’t find the byadagi chilli here where I live. Can I skip?

      yes. you can skip but byadagi gives that dark color that will be missing if you use only the regular chillies.
      Byadagi is not spicy. If you are using regular chillies, use less.
