India by merely 20 km of wide land (at Siliguri, West Bengal), the North-East
India shares over 2,000 km of border with Bhutan, China, Myanmar and
Bangladesh. North-East India is very rich in its food culture, but it
differs vastly from rest of the country in its taste as well as flavours.
Each of states have almost same fooding behaviour. Normally, inhabitants
of the region are non-vegetarian, and fond of spice. Bamboo Shoots and
dishes prepared from Ducks are in vogue in the region. In some part
of North-East India, animals are considered to be good diet. In Nagaland,
most of the dogs have fallen prey to local tribes. In Tripura and Assam,
fish are the favourite dish. While in Assam, various forms of rice are
consumed. Recipes like Assam Laksa Stock, Koat Pitha, Bamboo Shoot Fry,
Fish Fried Rice, Grilled Shrimps and Poora Mach are some of the most
famous cuisine of North-East India.
