Whether it is our King Chilli chutney or the Manipuri Eromba, we source ingredients like Ngari and Raja Marcha directly because the flavour simply isn't the same without them. When you order these, you are getting a recipe from our home, prepared with the same care we give every meal. Our menu is built on flavours that define our childhoods in Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. These starters are not just appetisers; they are an introduction to the diversity of Northeast Indian cuisine. **The Ingredients That Define Our Taste** - **Raja Marcha (Bhut Jolokia):** We use this legendary King Chilli to create chutneys that pack a real punch. It is not just about the heat; it is about the complex, fruity aroma that comes only from the genuine variety. - **Ngari (Fermented Fish):** Essential for that signature pungent depth in Manipuri dishes like Eromba. It is an acquired taste for many, but for us, it is the soul of the dish. - **Axone:** Used in our dry preparations, this fermented soybean adds a savory, earthy character that balances the freshness of our herbs and chillies. **Traditional Delicacies** - **Eromba:** A classic Manipuri mash of boiled vegetables, fermented fish, and fresh chillies. It is humble, rustic, and incredibly flavourful. - **Singju:** A refreshing yet spicy salad that highlights the contrast between crunchy raw vegetables and the intensity of roasted lentil powder and spices. - **Liver and Gizzard Fry:** A crowd favourite for those who enjoy a sharper, crunchier texture. We marinate these in simple spices, letting the natural taste of the meat shine through without heavy masalas. We prepare everything fresh. Because we don't use pre-made mixes or stock, please allow us 15-20 minutes to get the balance of spices and textures just right for you. ## About The Taste of Northeast We are a team from Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur, and we’re just here to share the food we grew up with.
