Though the ingredients of rice bhath are similar to veg pulao, its cooking method, taste and flavor is slightly different from Karnataka Veg palav recipe. I tried this recipe from Rekha aduge YouTube channel. It came out so well in my first attempt itself.

HOW TO MAKE RICE BATH RECIPE
- Wash and soak raw rice for 15 minutes. Wash and chop vegetables, onion, tomato. Heat oil in a kadai. Saute cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, red chilli, green chilli, mint and coriander leaves. Lastly add coconut and switch off the flame. Cool down.
- Grind to a slightly coarse and thick paste. Set aside. Heat oil in a cooker base. Saute bayleaf, kalpasi. Add the chopped onion, chopped vegetables, salt and ground masala paste.
- Saute for a minute till nice aroma wafts through the house. Add water and mix well. Check for salt and spice taste.
- Add washed and soaked rice, mix well. Pressure cook in low flame for one whistle.
- Open the cooker after the steam is released. Fluff the rice gently and serve hot with raita.
Notes
- Adjust the quantity of chillies as per your taste.
- For variations, you can grind all the ingredients raw without sauting. But the taste and flavor would be completely different.
- Water quantity varies based on the rice we use. For basmati rice, soak it for 15 minutes and use 1: 1.5 cups of rice and water. For jeera rice / Seeraga samba rice, 1:2 ratio without soaking.
- For most of the Karnataka rice varieties, Sona masoori rice is used. So I have used the same in this recipe.
- You can also use knol khol / Kholrabi along with other vegetables. Some hotels use this veggie too.
