• Assam (Chandubi) Food ...
Starting this week onward we bring you a new series named Ethnic Food Tour series that catalogues our food explorations across the diverse and rich tribal panorama of our country and beyond.
It commences with the rustic cuisine of the Rabha tribe from Bongaigaon, Assam. Their meal is hued with the unique earthy notes as they are primarily procured from the forests. For this, we visited the Ujan Rabhapara village in Kakoijana in Bongaigaon district of Assam along with our brilliant hosts Chayanika, Sishir and Risha whose insights helped us to get familiar with the new culture with ease.
En route to the village, we stopped at a local household to try the traditional Assamese jolpan. It is the umbrella term for the traditional breakfast dishes that the locals relish daily. The eclectic range of dishes under the jolpan are primarily rice-based. We tried the most elementary of them i.e. the sira doi gur and boondi laddo. It was such a comforting combination.
After a short drive, we reached Ujan Rabhapara, a place known for white langurs. Nestled amidst the green canopy of the Kakoijana forest expanse, this quaint sleepy village is home to the Rabhas.
Along with our hosts Chayanika, Sisir, Risha and Sanjib Sharma we meet the welcoming womenfolk of the village who had gathered to cook a traditional Rabha meal for us. Since agriculture based activity are the mainstay of their livelihood, naturally their cuisine is dominated by the components procured from the same.
Hence it not a surprise that it includes rice which is the staple, various local herbs, meats, fishes and insects. Bugs and insects like the silkworm, red ants , grasshoppers etc. are considered to be delicacies.
Another important element of the Rabha cuisine is the local rice beer that is brewed in almost all households and are consumed not occasionally but daily.
During our explorations we tried some of their delicacies that are prepared at the households on a regular basis. The highlights of the meal were chokoth rice beer, country chicken cooked with rice flour batter and silkworm and red ant eggs. We are truly grateful to our amazing hosts for serving us such a unique meal with so much enthusiasm and patience.

Thank you for exploring our Rabha Tribe's unique and ethenic food. Just great.

[@Inglorious_EONs]

Bro, I'm Rabha from Meghalaya... - Here we speak the Rabha language, but we rarely know our own culture's food. I mean I know that we eat grasshoppers, but other insects... Ummm rarely heard of it... ( but about the wine, it's all known because, without it, it's impossible to held a marriage party)

[@ektaverma2070]

I am soo much fascinated by your assam series..though my homeland is bihar...but I have spent considerable time in assam and love their food and flavour.... especially they don't alter the original flavour of food..and it's healthy too..keep going on..btw..your bihar food tour is also amazing..only one part is uploaded I guess

Host was high after rice beer 😂😂😂😂

[@shikhersrivastava7655]

Even Anubhav was...😂😂

[@poitodebbarma2882]

Bro ,Have you tried the rice beer , Do you know what it is she was just saying ( Atcha lagta hai) Doesn't mean she is high , She laugh because She is poor in speaking Hindi so she just laugh , That she laughed doesn't mean she is high , you people don't know anything and make fun of others , i know you are not seriously saying this but you should not make fun , and you people only play game or watch Videos in social media and doesn't know anything about others and started make fun of others and you people drink or smoke etc , Just for fun not fors addictive , you people act like a kid who still watch cartoon and most funniest things is that kids like you are not professional at all which you are talking about and tell others proudly like you are very professional and when you got chance in drinking wine or something , get high quickly very fast , Don't tells other because you are not professional at all which your are talking , whether she or he gets high quickly don't make fun of him or her #kidsdrinkingwineorsmokingweedgetshighbyfirsthits 😂

[@sedimelo7660]

Rice beer doesn't need to be soaked in water girl. We add water only just to feed a large group of people which makes it less strong. Otherwise beginners can't handle the 1st batch of the rice beer. Just cook the rice, cool it down, mix it with "Bakhor"(a rice laddu mixed with wild herbs), finally top it up with the few leaves of "bih dhekia/Bihlongoni"(Christella parasitica, Parasitic maiden fern), which is optional for more stronger alcohol content(Christella parasitica has 'Yeast" on its leaves that's why it produces more alcohol). Some people adds chilli too. All those mixures must be put in earthen pot or not reacting vessel. And then partially seal it with banana leaves or cover it with other possible techniques. Wait for 7-10 days in summer and 10-20 in winter. And it's READY!!

[@thebatman2653]

These people have shown you such a beautiful perspective of Assam/Assamese cuisine unlike that townie girl who accompanied DavidHasBeenHere and failed to give him or the viewers any idea of Assamese cuisine.

[@monalihazarika2032]

She has 50k plus followers in her Instagram...N there is a thought in few people s mind that if they have more followers n friends on social media they are worth n rest are all worthless,they r happy with more likes 😂.....
