Authentic Naga Ingredients & Traditional Cooking

Authentic Naga cuisine is defined by its ingredients, and for me, there are no shortcuts. Whether it is the pungent, earthy flavour of Axone (fermented soya) or the intense heat of Raja Mircha (King Chilli), I make sure every pack I send out carries the true essence of my home in Nagaland. I source these key ingredients directly from the Northeast, as they are essential to achieving the sour-spicy balance found in dishes like bamboo shoot stew or Aneshi curry.

My Kitchen Process

My cooking process is about patience and simplicity. I do not believe in heavy masalas or complicated restaurant-style gravies. Instead, I focus on the high meat-to-gravy ratio that we prefer. When I prepare smoked pork or beef curries, I let the meat slow-cook with local herbs and roots until it is tender and fully infused with the smokiness.

Since I run this as a home kitchen in Koramangala, I cook in small, fresh batches based on pre-orders. This allows me to experiment with different cuts—sometimes it is smoked pork with yam, other times it is beef with bamboo shoot or traditional river fish. Every portion is packed into 500ml or 5-compartment trays, ensuring you get the same quality I would serve to my own family. If you have been searching for real, no-fuss Naga food in Bangalore that tastes like home, this is where you will find it.
