Check out these foodgrammers from NE India, who bring us some easy dishes of the region, which you can try out at home from ingredients you may have.
Last month, a brilliant movie about North Eastern communities of India staying in Delhi was trending. Axone. This review of the movie says, ‘The trio of Upasna, Chanbi, and Zorem lives in Delhi and hails from the North-East. They plan to cook “axone”, a pork-based Nagamese dish, as a surprise for their friend Minam to be married. However, the notoriously pungent smell of this traditionally fermented dish gets them into trouble with their neighbors and their North Indian landlady.’
Clearly because the dish is perceived as ‘alien’ by Delhiites, but is representative of Nagamese cuisine. But this also points out how varied the different cuisines and food of Indians in different geographic regions can be, yet be rooted in a common cultural past.
Food tells us a lot about people’s culture, their lifestyle and wellness. As Indians we are fortunate to have a country filled with native cuisines and a wide variety of food habits. In order to truly appreciate the beauty of India, we must appreciate its complex and appetising food cultures. But the beauty of this uniquely diverse food culture of India is that all these vastly different flavours require similar ingredients and methods. So you can make these delectable dishes from your own kitchen.
We’ll be getting you a series of food posts, that include recipes and food bloggers from Instagram, YouTube, and other sources.
