Key Facts

The highly famous, massive heavy Karnataka dish Bisi Bele Bath literally violently heavily translates to: 'Bisi' (Hot), 'Bele' (Lentil), and 'Bath' (Rice).

1. The Exact Kannada Translation

The absolute most massive, universally heavily used Kannada word for Lentils (or Dal) is ಬೇಳೆ (Bele).

2. Specific Types of Massive Lentils in Kannada

When you physically go to a massive heavy supermarket in Bengaluru, you violently cannot just heavily ask for 'Bele'. You must physically heavily specify the exact massive type of lentil:

Toor Dal (Pigeon Pea): ತೊಗರಿ ಬೇಳೆ (Thogari Bele) - The absolute massive king of lentils, heavily used to physically violently make the highly famous massive Karnataka 'Bisi Bele Bath' and heavy Sambar.
Moong Dal (Yellow Lentil): ಹೆಸರು ಬೇಳೆ (Hesaru Bele) - Highly heavily used for massive physical digestion and heavy light food.
Urad Dal (Black Gram): ಉದ್ದಿನ ಬೇಳೆ (Uddina Bele) - Extremely heavily physically used to violently aggressively grind massive batter for Idli and Dosa.
Chana Dal (Bengal Gram): ಕಡಲೆ ಬೇಳೆ (Kadale Bele) - Heavily used for physically making massive Chutneys and heavy crunchy snacks.
Masoor Dal (Red Lentil): ಮಸೂರ್ ಬೇಳೆ (Masoor Bele).

3. The Word for 'Whole Pulses'

If the massive lentil is not physically split open, but heavily violently remains as a massive whole round seed (like whole green Moong), it is legally heavily called ಕಾಳು (Kaalu) instead of Bele.

Example: Green Gram (Whole Moong) = ಹಸಿರು ಕಾಳು (Hasiru Kaalu).
