Pakhala or fermented watery rice is considered a summer delicacy in Odisha. It is usually served with roasted and mashed veggies, curd, fried lentil dumplings, raw onions and fried fish or prawns. In a twist to the traditional recipe, I have prepared a cold soup from the fermented water. Easy to make and low on calories, this one is really soothing on a hot day.
