One Kitchen, Same Ingredients, Same Dish, Same Taste, Two Languages, Two Names. One more dish to the list where we call the same ingredients with different names.

When I posted about my Paneer Fried Rice, I realised that I have not posted about our most common – nearly weekly dish with the leftover rice. The Foodie calls it Namkeen Chawal while I call it Phodnicha Bhat. This is nothing but Tempered Fried Rice.

We always prepare this whenever we have leftover rice, which is weekly :P We have it with curd, papad and pickle.
