Preparing the staple meal
خلفية ثقافية
Rice is eaten at almost every meal. 'Bhat ranna kora' is the first thing a person does when they get home. It's often done in large quantities to share with unexpected guests. There is a preference for 'Siddha Chal' (parboiled rice). The process of 'Bhat ranna kora' here often involves carefully measuring the water to ensure the rice is 'jhore-jhore' (fluffy and separate). Cooking is often done on a 'Chula' (mud stove) using wood or dried leaves. The smoky flavor is a hallmark of traditional 'Bhat ranna kora'. In the UK or USA, 'Bhat ranna kora' has shifted almost entirely to electric rice cookers, but the phrase remains unchanged, showing linguistic resilience.
