▪︎Once upon a time though it was underrated, but now this culinary delight is known for its amazing cooling effect on the stomach during summers. ▪︎It's a power-packed probiotic dish made with leftover rice & also fresh rice. Yes I am talking about "PAKHALA"(Water Rice). It is also popular in many other states with different names. ▪︎Pakhaḷa is an Odia term used for this dish consisting of cooked rice washed or lightly fermented in water. The liquid part is known as Toraṇi. ▪︎Just like in the Odia household ,even the lord Jagannath loves Pakhala and also a part of temple cuisine. ▪︎There are so many type of variations of pakhala being consumed in Odisha. ▪︎Consumption of pakhala coincides with mango growing season there is a variation of pakhala known as "AMBA NASI PAKHALA" where the sap of raw mango stems is added with Pakhala. ▪︎It may sound weird because mango sap is very acidic & can cause terrible skin burns but adding the same sap in ‘Pakhala’ gives the dish a typical raw mango aroma & a unique taste. ▪︎Mango sap has anti-microbial properties may make it suitable for use as a preservative & a flavoring agent in food. #vegetarian #pakhalapasara #foodvideo #pakhalaodiafood #probioticfood
