I may eat some other foods but nothing can replace rice.

Not only Bangladesh but also our neighbor countries are used to eat rice and its a kind of popular Asian food. In this blog I've shared different for of rice after cooking and also the photo of paddy. Everyday we Bengalis eat rice 2-3 times. I eat rice 2 times.

In Friday we eat rice three times and its not a regular fried rice, it a kind of rice which is known as hotchpotch. Mixture of rice, pulse, turmeric powder, salt, peppers make the hotchpotch rice and it taste yummy than regular rice and you can eat it with different kind of pickles like pickle of olive, garlic, raw mango or any kind of curries.

Our weekend is Friday and sometimes we love to eat restaurant foods but there also we look for rice in a different form. We eat white rice as our regular food but biryani rice and polao rice we eat occasionally and sometimes on the weekends. We eat hotchpotch rice in the weekend. White rice can be eaten more than the other tasty yummy rice.

Paddy cultivation and milling polished rice the whole process beginning to the end is very long and need a lots of efforts. People whoever waste food specially the rice, if ever cultivate rice and experience the effort ever in life will never dare to waste food. So you can imagine how hard it is. Hats off to the farmers for doing hard work to grow foods for us.

Specially our paddy farmers work really hard in their fields. They are doing the best job in this world as growing food is the great virtue and deserves more respect. Though things are getting digital but still village people working hard to grow foods. Digital or analogue whatever the process is not so easy, it takes time and efforts. We hardly think about the source of our foods and just eat but we should pray before eating that the food we are eating many people can't afford to eat it.

As I said at the very beginning that rice can be served in different ways and it has huge classifications too. I love beef hotchpotch or biryani and sometimes with mutton too. Most of the food restaurant serve this kind of rice and charge a big amount of money, if you cook them at home, you can save money on it.

In wedding and traditional events are also serves rice as the main food. Rice serves in maximum event and its our most favorite food. Cooking is an art and many good chef cook rice is creative ways that make it more tasty and yummy. Starch of rice is also useful and full of vitamin and many use it for skin care too.

^{My homemade food and food decoration}

Once I cooked rice and decorate it in a different way as you can see I've decorated it like a human face. I use lemon slice for nose, cucumber slices for making eyes, and a green pepper to make the smile. I just tried something creative after cooking this rice. Its a small amount of rice but full of taste. I ate it with egg.

Rice is not only a regular food but also easy made food. The all we need water and fire to cook write rice. It takes few minutes to be cooked. With curry it taste too good. Rice is a kind of food that can consume with any kind soupy curry or fry. A small amount of rice can fulfill your hunger for long time so we should eat a small amount of rice not too much rice at a time. Rice has enough quality to be the staple food for everyone. I love eating rice.
