Laksa – An Assamese favorite
Like many other parts of the country, rice is a staple in Assam too. Laksa is a delicious noodle soup which is made using rice noodles. The rice noodles are mixed with chicken, prawn or fish with a blend of coconut milk, tamarind and spices to come up with a delightfully soul-satisfying broth. The very taste of this exquisite food, awakens your taste buds and makes you want it more. A similar soup with more south-east asian flavours is served in parts of Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia too.
Thukpa – Taste of Arunachal Pradesh
Thukpa is known to have originated in Tibet but the dish has travelled far and beyond and is now a favourite amongst the locals of Arunachal Pradesh. It is prepared with flat noodles along with meat or local available hill veggies. Thenthuk is a similar dish available here and uses hand-pulled or bite sized noodles instead of flat noodles. This comforting dish is eaten especially during freezing winters of Arunachal Pradesh to stay warm and cozy.
Kappa – Tourists favorite in Shillong (Meghalaya)
Tourists love to have kappa on the streets and alleys of Shillong. The dewy climate of Meghalaya makes this a perfect snack to keep them warm. It is made using chicken entrails (chicken intestines and other inner body parts), the freshness of this soup can be attributed to the fresh garden spices added at the end.
Kinalas and Smoked Pork stir fry in Nagaland
A noodle dish made from pork head with the brown sauce topping, gives the soup excellent flavors. Another delicious dish found here is smoked pork stir fry. Both these use the famous Raja Mirchi or Bhut Jholokia known to be two of the hottest chillies in the world. The dishes contain fermented soy bean, yam leaves or bamboo shoots that impart an intense smoky taste.
Chikhvi/Pork Bharta from Tripura
Pork is commonly eaten by locals in Tripura, and the meat is enjoyed in several different ways. One of the more popular dishes is chikvi or pork bharta and is a must-try if you are a foodie. A stir fry of sliced pork with bamboo shoots or peeled onions, ginger, roasted chilli, and flavored herbs, this can also be prepared with soaked green papaya seeds, green chillies, turmeric, rice flour and lime leaves which give it an enhanced flavor.
Shapale – Samosa with North-eastern (Sikkim) flavors
A crunchy exterior with soft juicy filling of minced chicken or meat, deep fried and served with a hot chilli sauce or rutang soup (Soup made from meats), Shapale is exactly what you need on a cold evening. This snack is very similar to deep fried momos or a north-indian samosa.
