Did you know? This one-pot rice dish from Karnataka stars crisp capsicum in coconut-spice paste. "Bath" means rice in Kannada. It was created to use seasonal pepper harvests - the green, red, and yellow varieties make it colorful. The coconut is freshly grated for maximum aroma. Traditionally served with yogurt or pickle, it's a lunchbox favorite. Modern versions might add paneer or tofu for protein. The tempering includes chana dal and mustard seeds for crunch. Aromatic without onion-garlic, making it perfect for fasting days.
