Bisebalebath

This is an all vegetarian meal. It is one pot wonder comfort food with family & fills in all the vegetable servings you missed during a week. Served with yogurt & potato chips.DYK - you can hide as much as half a cauliflower in this recipe. with 3/4 cup of rice, it can still serve 4-5 people.

Ingredients 
2 tbsp cooking oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper and/or 1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped beans
1/2 cauliflower chopped
1/2 cup of cooked garbonzo beans or raw peanuts
4 garlic cloves
2-3 tomates
3/4 cup rice
1/2 cup toor Dal
3 cups  water
salt to taste

0.5 - 1 tsp chilli powder
1- 2 tsp coriander powder
0.5 - 1 tsp garam masala powder

Preparation
1. In a pot or pressure cooker add the oil, when hot add onions followed by vegetables. 
2. When translucent add the chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala followed by  water, tomato and allow to boil. 
3. If using a rice cooker, this is when you transfer the mix to the rice cooker. And add rice and dal to the boiling water. If you are using an American pressure cooker, wait for 8 minutes after the steam is build. If you are using an Indian pressure cooker, 4 whistles wud do it.
4. when done, add chopped coriander leaves to garnish.
The final consistency shud be like a oatmeal porridge. so if you want always add water at the end and allow a boil.
You can almost add all the vegetables here. I have added and the recipe works well with red radish, opo squash, egg plant, zuchinni, beets and potatoes.
