There is no difference to lunch and dinner to Assyrians as there are with some other cultures, they are referred to as "kawitrā w kharamsha", or "ˁurāytā w ḥšāmtā" (ܚܕܝܐ ܘ ܥܫܝܐ). Lunch and dinner typically consist of basmati rice which can be prepared either plain, red ("smooqah"), yellow ("zardah"), or plain with fried miniature noodles called "sha'riya." Alternatively, there is also green rice ("reza qeena"), which is flavoured and seasoned with lima beans and dill, which give it a green colour. In place of rice, "gurgur" (burghul or ""perda"" in Assyrian) can be prepared in the same way as rice. Beef and chicken "Kebab", grilled on skewers or a spit, are also commonly eaten at mealtime.
