How To Smoke Meat | The Northeastern Way

A Northeastern Indian meal typically consists of rice, fresh vegetables and definitely meat. Unlike the mainland India Northeastern platter has a lot of meat in it and we love our meat.
We make use of meat in both fresh and preserved form. Meat in Norteastern villages are normally preserved smoking them over the wood fire. This process not only aids in its preservation, so that it can be stored for a longer period of time, but also adds a nice smoky flavor to the meat. There are many delicious mouth-watering dishes that is made out of smoked meat.

I love how you incorporate the indigenous ways of smoking meat!!! This is amazing

[@manjitrupbikram]

Thanks for the upload. Boiling the meat prior to smoking will hasten the process by a huge margin. Covering your sieve with a tight weave basket or 'dala'(round flat bamboo item for winnowing rice) will help the smoke penetrate the meat. The type of firewood used will also impart their own distinct aromas. Sawdust or rice husks added to the ambers will increase the smokiness which lasts for a longer time. Keep up the uploads. You're doing fine.

[@EatYourKappa]

Thank you for such priceless tips. Those are really helpful.

[@cathykom3739]

But boiling the meat will lost its original taste

When you smoke cook a 1 kg of pork, after it’s done, what is the exact weight of it?

[@sevverl]

How long can we use this smoke meats? Time period??

[@dhruvNjackie]

maam, my fiancee send me smoked wild boar and beed and parceled me through post which took 15days to reach me and i noticed white layer over the smoked meat .. Has it gone bad??

[@foodiebuddy4283]

I just made today, but i have incorporated raw black pepper, green chilly, curry leaves and pinch of turmeric powder, that's how it's done down in parts of south India

[@nishitareddy1036]

Where can I order smoked pork pickle online?

[@santoshchiran92]

Tognokgen. Yummy 👍👍👍👍

[@d.o.l1998]

Smoked pintade...😋

[@NKent-uy7vs]

That advice on not cutting the meat too thin brought back memories 😂😂 I remember ultra thin & super hard slices of smoked meat, all because I didn't have this video back then 😛😛 Yes Yes, I'm gonna blame it all on you haha 😎 Anyway, great video Nambie & frankly speaking, I loved the smoked pork more than the smoked beef 😂 Courier it to me please 👼

[@EatYourKappa]

He he :) Hey that's not fair. You can't blame me for that :D Thank you for your kind words though. The smoked pork got over the very next day :P

[@NKent-uy7vs]

[@9774489288]

[@rahulsarma2070]

Can I get the link of the traditional northeastern store to buy some smoked items

[@EatYourKappa]

I don't know of any Rahul. There are some online market place, who sell maybe you can try them out.

[@sudheeshkumar4042]

she said everything she knows about smoking meat.. lucky person

[@dTravller]

Same process in our arunachal

[@karnalaishram5970]

👌

[@EatYourKappa]

😀

[@lalmarbaniang4695]

In Mizo style..... We used wooden or iron stick and insert the meet and hang it over fire and the whole process took only 3or4 hours... I think this method is better because as the meet doesn't need to hang over fire for a long time the meat is much healthier as comparing to the method u showed...because mizo style would contain less tar....

[@EatYourKappa]

lalduhthlana Geo even we do the same thing. I guess using wooden or iron stick might get less tar on the meat. However, since it's soaked in warm water before cooking, the tar gets washed away :)

[@lunamizo3119]

Soi tha dap2 ve

[@saptea_darchhun]

Using skewer is most common method among the mizos but if you want to smoke it better you have to wait 3 to 4 days

[@rsmb99]

The only inconvenience doing this in an urban area is the long smoking period involved (several days). In villages there is plenty of firewood and open areas where one may do this quite easily.

[@EatYourKappa]

Totally agreed. Down south you have so much sun, drying them is also a great option. I love uppu kandam.

[@a.d.9429]

we too do it the same way

[@EatYourKappa]

Hi five :D

[@chocolatebabes007]

Which part of the meat is used? Is there a way to smoke meat in the oven if i dont have bamboo tray?

[@chocolatebabes007]

Oh and nam, do you need to leave the fire continuously for 3 to 4 days

[@Gojo22230]

Can you please cook jha dho

[@EatYourKappa]

I have already shot the video, will soon post it on the channel.

[@deldol6092]

We call that etag in the philippines

[@theJoker-cz7hx]

too good ma'am.. I never knew that you even cook such things..😁😀 #NGIPI'an

[@rosysolo4852]

Before consuming soak it in a warm water for few minutes as smoke is injuries to health

[@EatYourKappa]

Roseline Solo absolutely!

[@v.ningthoujam7830]

Thanks dear.

[@krishnakamalbarman2030]

Hi nambi !! I dont know about others but i have got better idea to smoke my meat..that too around 30 kgs at one go...which takes about 3 to 4 hours to smoke..I have built myself a homemade "meat smoker" . I wish i could show it to you. I made it from an old steel closet..made modifications to make it airtight...added a chimney..it works great..and it cost be about Rs.2000 to make it..

[@EatYourKappa]

Krishna kamal Barman whoa 30 kgs at one go. That sounds awesome! It has commercial applications. You should seriously consider commercialising it. Lot of people might want to buy it. As for the method I showed in my video it's for producing smoked meat with small quantities of leftover extra meat for use at home.

[@EatYourKappa]

Krishna kamal Barman I might actually be needing that sometime soon and I will buy it from you.

[@krishnakamalbarman2030]

Eat Your Kappa ...I am ready to commercialize it but there are very few people who would like to buy it in my place..lol...smoked pork is my favourite and its very expensive to buy smoked pork in guwahati..about rs.300/250 gms. So i had to make use of my engineering background lol !!..If you have someone to would like to buy this smoker ...i'll be glad to make one for him/her. if u wish you can give me ur watsapp number or any other address where i could send u the pics.

[@krishnakamalbarman2030]

Eat Your Kappa Sure ...i'll be glad to make it for u .

[@EatYourKappa]

Krishna kamal Barman You never know it might be a hot seller. Maybe not the rural folks but the urban people might want to buy it. My email id is [e-mail]. I will spread the word through my channel. It has a small audience base, I will do what I can.

[@suryayt01]

is it healthy to consume meat with so much tar?

[@EatYourKappa]

I guess the tar quantity is in negligible amount, on top of that the meat is washed several times, sometimes even soaked in warm water for a while before being used for cooking. All that removes most of it. People in villages have been for ages curing, preparing and consuming meat this way. To my knowledge no one in my village has even had any health issues due to it. However, smoked meat in general is said to be mildly carcinogenic, eating it in moderation is the key I guess :)

[@samuelgamato971]

I want the betel nut in the background

[@cp-pw1mw]

Can i buy some

[@EatYourKappa]

I am so sorry, we make it just for the home use Cheng. You will find stores selling them in Shillong.

[@Holy38]

I am having issue in playing this video.. the video stop playing at 42 sec

[@sanketdhone2]

Lol.. gas burner will not work.. coz it dosent produce any smoke..😂😂

[@EatYourKappa]

sanket dhone true that ... Hanging the meat close enough will dehydrate the meat and ready for preservation but you won't get the same smoky flavour.

[@sanketdhone2]

Wow.. its gr8 u take time to reply all comments..😇👍👍 Just now checked.. u replied all..👏👏 And i thought.. just i was lucky one..😂😂
