Khara bhaath

Its been sometime since I shared anything under  the label Breakfast.I had this picture in one of my albums and thought of sharing it.Khara bhaath is the Karnataka special dish which is very famous in Bangalore side.I adapted this recipe from The chef and her kitchen.I had prepared this long back and had liked it very much.Khara bhaath is similar to that of vegetable rulam or upma.Few variations are done with different names.Usually it is paired with sheera(sweet dish)and  popularly known as chowchow baath and is served in most of the functions…For Vegetable rulam refer here.
