The taste of Assam on the plate

aloo pitika – mashed potatoes with mustard oil and green chili – its comfort. Without it, it would be complete without Assam rice. Naturally, when I went to Assam House in Bordoloi Marg earlier this week, it was the first thing I was looking for. Sure enough, that’s sitting quietly Tallisurrounded by tempting spread.

I have always had a special liking for Assam food, especially meat curry (goat, chicken, duck, pigeon, pork, pork). The rich Tenga fish curry is one of my favorites. Then there is Carl – A slightly alkaline, quite interesting dish, made with vegetables, usually served at the beginning of a meal. I tasted a lot at the local chain Maihang in Assam, named after the etiquette meal.

The place has been quiet since I had brunch and nothing was ready-for example, the day’s dessert Kheer is still popping up in the kitchen. I ordered a special vegetarian Talli Fried side with lamb curry and duck; the bill reaches Rs 930. this Talli It itself is a colorful plate, including a pile of rice, surrounded by small bowls of dishes. If you are hungry, they do offer a supplementary fee, no extra fee.

My plate consists of two yellow and black – a mixed vegetable curry with gourd and tomato, stir-fried lai saag, dried vegetarian fries, papaya Carland of course Aloo Pitika. Potato has sharp punches to mustard oil, and Carl Bringing its iconic bitter green twist. But surprisingly the fried vegetable bowl – the okra slices are crisp and sharp with minimal spice, made right. The yellow dal is smooth and comfortable. However, the black Dahl didn’t do much to me. The lamb curry kicked a lot, but still managed to get delicious.

What I like most about Assam food is its clean, bold flavor. It is rarely overdoing. I had a meal at Jakoi, Assam Bhawan Restaurant in Delhi (although currently being renovated). Their ducks are books. In Maihang, it was a little tough – I took it home, whistled in the pressure cooker, and softened while chewing a little. Assam’s duck and pigeon vegetables do stand out – I still remember the pigeon curry that my friend’s mother once made. The meat is tender and the gravy is full of flavor.

In Delhi, some restaurants do offer Assam cuisine. Many of Humayunpur’s northeast joints have a dish or two. oh! There are also some interesting products in nearby Assam – their pork and vegetable stir-fry is worth a try.

All in all, although I did miss a sweet ending, my lunch at Maihang was on site. one Talli Without dessert, it feels a little incomplete, like the idli without podi. Kheer was still boiling on the stove as I left. Maybe next time.
