Is Panta Bhat Halal?

Panta bhat is cooked rice soaked in water overnight so it ferments, traditionally eaten as a Bengali New Year (Pohela Boishakh) breakfast alongside fried hilsa fish, raw onion and green chilies. On its own, this entry is halal and kosher, and genuinely low in fat, 0.3g per 100g. It's also vegan and vegetarian, as plain rice and water with no listed allergens, though any fish, onion or chili served alongside it would need checking separately.
