Versatile, healthy, spice-free, easy-to-cook and yet delicious - that sums up Assamese cuisine for you. Assamese cuisine is bland and oil-free, pretty similar to South East Asian cuisine. Being based outside Assam, one challenge of coming up with authentic Assamese dishes has been the not-so-ubiquitous presence of core ingredients like baah gaaj (bamboo shoot), o'tenga (elephant apple), etc. But I’ve tried to use whatever substitutes I could lay my hands on and embarked on a wonderful culinary jaunt. Considering this, the dishes may not be cent percent authentic; in fact, some of the dishes are offshoots and are my own creations – a fusion of East and North Indian cuisines, with a USP (healthy) common to all the posts. Stay tuned and do leave your feedback so that I can cook my way to a more readable and interesting FARE!
