About this collection
Most of these sides are seasonal, just like the produce we get from back home. If you see stir-fried beans or specific fermented chutneys on the list, grab them while they are up. I make these in smaller batches than the pork, so they rotate frequently based on what I have in my pantry.
Cooking Northeast Indian food is not just about the protein. It is about the balance you get from side dishes. My kitchen focuses on traditional pairings that complete a meal, ensuring you get the right mix of texture and heat.
What to expect
Expect fried beans, fresh seasonal greens, and fermented chutneys. These are not fillers. They are cooked with garlic chives, ginger, and local herbs to get that exact flavor profile you miss.
Fresh and Seasonal
Since I source fresh vegetables locally in Ejipura and Koramangala, the menu changes often. You might find stir-fried mustard greens one week and bitter gourd preparations the next. If you are ordering a main curry, ask me what sides are ready today. It saves you the trouble of cooking extra at home.
Pantry Support
I also stock the fermented fish and dried shrimp you need if you want to make these sides yourself at home. Just text me if you need the raw ingredients or specific staples like Axone or bamboo shoots.
Northeastone
I am the one cooking these, and I am the one delivering them. I do not do big industrial batches, just the same food I would eat at home. If you want real Northeast flavors in Bangalore, this is where you get it.
