Cooked rice soaked in water and seasoned. This is a rice preparation native to Orissa. It is excellent for summers as it cools the body and relieves dehydration. Typically, it is made by fermenting the rice overnight in the water and had in the morning or in the evening there fore called “Basi Pakhala” literally meaning “Stale Pakhala”, but it is named so as it is made from the previous day’s rice. I give my father’s recipe and as we enjoy it at home, well seasoned. To serve two Ingredients Cooked Rice- as required Water- twice the amount of rice Salt Lemon leaves- 5 to 6 Mango-Ginger (Manga-injee/Amba-ada) or ginger- 1 inch http://herbpathy.com/Uses-and-Benefits-of-Mango-Ginger-Cid1077 Green Chilli -2 to 3 Curry leaves- 7 to 8 Curd- 1 medium sized bowl (The amount of curd can be incresed to suit your taste) The rice should be cooked soft and cooled. Left over rice can also be used. Chop the ginger and green chilli. In a large vessel, put the ginger, chilli, salt.
