How bamboo shoot flavours the food of North-east
Live MintWhen Kristi Kikon Murry left Dimapur and moved to the Capital for work, she missed cooking with an ingredient integral to Naga cuisine. Today, a visit home is incomplete till she packs a share of her family’s bastenga, or fermented bamboo shoot, for her Delhi kitchen. The monsoon kitchen in Upper Assam is incomplete without haahe-bahe, a duck-meat dish cooked with tender shoots sans spices. Mitali Dutta, who runs a culinary tourism business from Guwahati, talks of a heritage recipe of the Karbi community—pork and sour bamboo shoots cooked without spices or oil. Similarly, khorisa, or fermented bamboo shoot, is used to make pitika, or mash, and the household favourite masor tenga, or sour fish curries, in Assam.
