Tamil actor Atharvaa Murali now starts his day with fermented rice, not eggs
Tamil actor Atharvaa Murali has revealed his daily diet, which remains consistent. Previously, he would consume eggs or egg white for breakfast, but now opts for overnight-soaked rice or fermented rice paired with half an onion. Lunch consists of grilled chicken or vegetables, and he concludes his day with dinner by 7 pm, which is typically dosa.
According to consultant dietitian Garima Goyal, fermented rice, also known as pazhaya sadam, is a traditional practice in many South Indian households where cooked rice is soaked overnight, allowing for mild fermentation. This process may help grow beneficial bacteria, making the food easier to digest. Fermented foods are believed to support gut microbiome diversity, which is crucial for digestion, immunity, and overall metabolic health.
Goyal also noted that fermented rice may provide resistant starch, a type of carbohydrate that behaves like fiber and can support gut bacteria, improve satiety, and regulate energy levels.
