Our curries rely on the natural juices of the meat, fermented bamboo shoot, and the fierce heat of Raja Marcha chillies. Because we cook everything fresh in small batches, we don't have a massive stock sitting in the freezer, so please give us about 20 minutes to get those deep, earthy flavours just right for your plate. ### Authentic Flavours from the Northeast When you order a curry or main dish from us, you aren't getting a generic gravy. Whether it is a Naga-style chicken stew or a Manipuri fish curry, we keep it simple, honest, and as close to our roots as possible. We don't use cream, butter, or artificial thickeners. Instead, we use traditional methods: * **Fermented Ingredients:** We rely on Axone (fermented soybean) and Anishi (fermented taro) to build depth, giving our pork and chicken dishes that distinct, pungent aroma our community loves. * **Traditional Pairings:** We pair our meats with bamboo shoot for that signature tangy twist, or smoke our pork to get that deep, wood-fired flavour. * **Clean Cooking:** If you prefer something light, our zero-oil Chicken and Fish Boils are prepared with just herbs, ginger, garlic, and fresh chillies. ### Why Ingredients Matter We source ingredients like Raja Marcha (Bhut Jolokia) directly to ensure you get the real heat, not just spice. Our curries are served in generous portions—perfect for pairing with a bowl of steamed Joha rice. If you are new to Northeast cuisine, start with a classic Chicken with Bamboo Shoot or our signature Smoked Pork. If you are looking for something specific from Assam, Nagaland, or Manipur, just ask—we are happy to walk you through the flavour profile. We believe food is 'barkat' (abundance), so come hungry. ## About The Taste of Northeast We are a team from the Northeast who simply wanted to share the food we grew up eating.
