@[Aruna Das](8529) Definitely.... It's just so simple yet delicious! I've yet to try pokhal bhat, the process of making I've heard is a bit different.

@[Asmita Saha](44):In Odissa (oriya ) people call it Pokhal Bhat .It is loved by my parents but I would only dig the accompaniments -like saag with badi ,mustard  oil aloo bharta ,fried Parwal and aloo 😀.So I’m guessing safe to say it’s eastern Indian dish !

@[Raveena Mirpuri](41) wow how come I've never heard about this. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Asmita, in us sindhis it is called thadri (meaning cold) and we consume foods like loli (sweet flat bread) and koki (savoury flat bread) which is prepared a day prior with curd and pickle. 
😇

@[Aruna Das](8529) oh great! Thanks for the explanation....

Actually almost same ,fermented rice ,but it’s ok to do with old cooked or even fresh cooked .Not much difference .It was really acted as coolant for stomach with same water and curd in it .But the accompaniments were must !.I actually would ditch this and have dal chawal instead with curd and accompaniments !

This is Panta bhat. Wherein you eat a day/ or a few day old rice persevered with cold water. You accompany this rice with a spicy & salty potato mash, fritters, sometimes with raw chillies & onion.😋

Today we celebrate Shitola Puja. Shitola maa is known as the goddess of small pox. She represents the healing power of nature. To celebrate this day you're supposed to eat cold food. Which is panta bhat & mashed potato , fritters , all of which are a day old & strictly veg.

This is a perfect comfort food for us Bengalis, especially in scorching hot summer days or to successfully induce a midday nap 💤 😅. This also is very popular in the rural part of west bengal.

Did you ever try this?
