About Authentic Northeast Pantry Staples & Snacks
What You’ll Find Here
I stock pantry staples that make Naga and Manipuri food stand out. If you’re after real flavours, not watered-down versions, you’re in the right place. I keep things simple and source everything the way we use it at home.
Pantry Staples & Must-Haves
- Fermented soybean axone (akhuni), wrapped in banana leaf, the proper way. It’s what gives Naga curries their depth.
- Bamboo shoots, both fresh and fermented. Open, slice, and throw in. No fuss.
- Regional pickles, shrimp and fish pastes. These aren’t for everyone, but if you know, you know. Adds that pungent, bold kick.
- Smoked and dried fish, tiny dried fish like what you get back home, and dried shrimp for that umami punch.
The Heat
- Fresh Bhut Jolokia chili - both red and green. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s fire, straight up. Essential for real chutneys or a simple side.
Quick Asian Fix
Sometimes you want a snack, not a meal. So I keep Samyang Buldak Korean ramen (including the 2x spicy one) and other Asian snacks, like crackers and biscuits, ready to go.
Everything here is what I’d eat myself. Not everything will suit everyone, but if you want that real Northeast taste, you’ll find it.

My Story
Hey, we’re Northeastone. We’re Naga and Manipuri folks bringing home flavours from the Northeast to Bangalore. Finding fresh veggies and real ingredients here is tough, so we started this for anyone missing those tastes or just curious. No fancy stuff, just straight-up Northeast groceries, the way we know it. You get what you see. Come, try something different.
