Bhubaneswar: Nothing beats a bowl full of Pakhala and a variety of accompaniments! It is Pakhala Dibasa again, which is being observed since 2015 to celebrate the favourite summer dish of fermented rice in Odisha. It is also a time-tested recipe to beat the scorching summer heat.
And it is no coincidence that this day is celebrated on World Happiness Day and two days after World Sleep Day, because, for Odias across the globe Pakhala is synonymous with both ‘Happiness’ and ‘Sound Sleep’.
Many Odias and lovers of Pakhala, including politicians, bureaucrats and actors, took to social to express their love for this dish on Sunday. Check the posts here:
