View RecipeRice is the staple food in Odisha. Most of the Odias prefer rice to wheat as their primary source of cereal. A notable practice in most of the Odia homes is to prepare rice in a special way, such as soaking the cooked rice in water for several hours before it is served. It is called 'Pakal Bhat'. Otherwise Odisha has also a practice of preparing fine cuisine out of rice, such as Kanika and Ghia Anna both of which owe their origin to the Jagannath temple of Puri.
The culinary tradition of Odisha is centuries old. It is intertwined with the cultural identity of Odisha, and has evolved over a long period of time to acquire a uniqueness of its own. Odia foods are less spicy and less oily, making them one of the healthiest foods of India. The Mahaprasad served to the deities in the famous Jagannath temple of Puri represents the heritage of the food traditions of Odisha. Rice, pulses and seasonal vegetables serve as the basic ingredient of Odia foods. Besides, fish and sea foods also form a major part of the food preferences in Odisha.
