Although the everyday use of "bhat" refers to boiled rice, can it also mean other boiled grains that might be eaten with dal? I was told it does have this wider meaning in Nepali, but what about in Bengali etc.?
I was also told this is important because ritual pollution rules about water extend to all foods cooked in water, so the method of cooking becomes more important than which grain is used. Conversely, grain cooked without water (parched/beaten rice, parched corn, etc.) is less subject to pollution and can safely be eaten in mixed-caste settings.

No. Bhat means rice or meal with rice in Nepali. I don't know anything else cooked instead of rice as Bhat. --Xwtyl (talk) 14:41, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
