  Hello Raj,
  I am reposting Bisibele bath recipe from my earlier posting .Plese try and let me know the result.
  
  
  
  Here is the BISIBELEBHATH recipe needed by you.I hope that u will stick to the method and get appreciation from all your guests.
  
  
  BISI-BELE-BATH
  
  
  INGREDIENTS
  
  1 Cup Rice(new rice is better)
  1/2 cup Thoram parappu( Thoor dhall)
  1 Potato diced in meduum pieces( medium sized)
  1 cup of small sambhar onions or two big onions diced
  100 gms of Grteen peas
  50 gms of Beans cut in 1" pieces
  1 Bal*l of Tamarind ( small) extract thick juice
  Salt to taste
  
  MASALA
  
  3 Spoons of Sambahar Masala (as given by me earlier)
  8 Nos 1" Cinnamon sticks
  7Nos Cloves
  25 gms of Maratti Moggu
  10 Nos of Red Chillies of Medium hot variety
  1 Spoon of Asfoetida
  1/4 Cup of Grated Copra
  1/4 cup Ghee (about 100 gms)
  
  METHOD OF PREPARATION
  
  This is cooked in Three stages.
  In First stage, Cook the Rice and Dhall seperately.If you have old rice, overcook the rice so that rice is not hard after cooking.
  Dhall should not be over cooked or under cooked.
  See that it is properly cooked and keep them seperately.Take care to add one spoon of salt along with rice before cooking.
  
  In second stage, steam cook the vegetables till they are 3/4 cooked.Take care to add little salt and 1/4 spoon of Sugar to the vegetables before you steam cook.This will enhance the green colour of vegetables.
  
  PREPARATION OF SPICES POWDER
  
  Take two spoons of ghee in a tampering ladle and put Maratti Moggu and heat on a medium flame.When the Moggu starts bursting, immediately remove the Moggu in a cup.
  Now take one spoon of ghee and add red chillies and all the other spices as mentioned above.
  Heat on low flame for exactly one and half minutes.Keep on turning the spices in the meanwhile.
  Add one spoon Asfoetida just before you remove the spices from stove .
  Now add these spices to Maratti Moggu.
  After the mix of spices cools down, make a powder of the spices.
  Take care not to make very fine powder.It should be slightly coarse.
  
  Take some oil/ghee in a Kadai and fry Onions till they are translucent.
  Add the onions to semi cooked vegetables.
  
  GRAND FINAL MIXING
  
  Take a large vessel and add Rice and Dhall Mix thoroughly.
  Now add partially cooked vegetables and spices powder and three spoons of Sambahar powder.Add Tamarind extract, salt and grated Copra.
  Slowly mix the spices thoroughly.
  
  Let this semi prepared BisibeleBhath stand for about one hour or so.
  After one hour, add little water till the consistancy of the Bhath reaches thick dosai batter.
  Now put the whole thing in a pressure cooker and Cook till one whistle.
  Remove the cooker from the stove and when the steam subsides, add three spoons of Ghee and mix well.
  Serve Bisibele Bhath piping hot.
  
  There are a lot of quickfix versions of BisibeleBhath recipes but this method will give you a taste that you will never forget.!!
  Enjoy!!!

  ADDENDUM
  
  Botanical name of Maretti Moggu is Piper cubeba.
  In Hindi it is also known as kabab chini.
  I t is totally different from Clove or pepper though in flavour.

  Hello Raj,
  You can get this from any Indian store which sells spices and condiments.Try some in New Jersy.
  Or if you are on the west coast, try in LA.
