I source these carefully and handle them exactly as we do back home, so you get the genuine pungent, earthy profile in every dish. Because these are small-batch, fresh preparations, availability changes—please check with me before planning your menu. Real Naga food is defined by its ingredients. You cannot replicate the depth of a dish like *Zukolak* without fresh bamboo shoots, or get the signature funk of a curry without properly fermented Axone. I treat these ingredients with respect, whether it is boiling bamboo shoots until they are just right or pounding fermented soya beans in a wooden mortar to get the perfect texture. I often get asked about the usage of these items. Because everything is prepared in small batches without preservatives, these are not mass-produced shelf-stable products. They are raw, intense, and ready to be used in your own cooking. The fermented crab and beef lungs, for instance, bring a smoky, pungent intensity that is difficult to find elsewhere in Bangalore. If you are a Naga living away from home or just curious to try your hand at cooking traditional recipes, send me a message. I am happy to share how I use these staples in my own kitchen. ## About Naturally Naga Hi, I am the cook here at Naturally Naga.
