Bangladeshis eat Bhat (boiled rice) as their staple food and major intake; about 70 percent of what they eat is based on rice, which is their main source of carbohydrate, though health conscious people take rooti or chapati (wheat-based carbohydrate). Unlike other foods, bhat is eaten after mixing it with curry. Generally there is Bhaji (fry) and Bharta (mash), basically made of countless varieties of vegetables and fishes. Then they take a Jhol of different vegetables, cooked separately or mixed or added with fish. They also take dal (soup made of pulses) and have different kinds of ghonto and shukto or Chutni (pickles) to enhance taste.
