“In June and July, bamboo shoot is in season and it features in a lot of our dishes,” says Khachuk Debbarma. Pork is also a beloved ingredient in Tripura,” says Teesta Saha, a Bengali food content creator on Instagram whose account @by_bornbhukkad_1994 has about 59000 followers. “After I started documenting food, I became curious about Tripuri and Chakma cuisines,” shares Saha, and adds, “I usually eat Bengali foods like chicken bharta, which is also called tohan mosdeng in Tripura.” Tohan mosdeng is a dry preparation made by stir-frying chicken pieces with onions, chillies, and ginger. “Along with chakhwi, we also make gudok and muya awandru with bamboo shoot,” she says.
