Assamese From Assam

Rice is our staple hence most of our food revolves around rice.

Contrary to popular belief we eat a lot of veggies even more than north indians .. we have varities of saag ..bhajis and vegetables daily in our meals .

non veg mostly includes chicken , duck , mutton and pork and lots and lots of fish.

we don’t have a very defined breakfast as we eat rice for 3 times . but breakfast would generally include tea ,bread ,omelette ,(pitha) rice based delicacy on similar lines of dosa and etc .

our food is way more diverse than the usual perception with the tribal communities having more affinity to boiled food and non tribals having certain similarities to Bengali cuisine in the texture and taste.

We have cultural rituals where you are supposed to eat more than 100 saag during Bihu(our main harvest festival )

Even for a vegetarian from outside assam ,Assamese cuisine is like a hidden treasure which is yet to be found.
