Pitika is an Assamese word which means mashed. Pitika dishes are very popular in Assam. It is a side dish and a signature recipe of Assamese cuisine. It is prepared using vegetables, mashing them with chopped onion, chilli and mustard oil after boiling or smoking/grilling them. It's taste is very pure. Sometimes raw onion is used and sometimes fried onion is used in these recipes. We use mustard oil for all purposes as it can also be consumed as raw. Pickled chilli or pickled bhoot jolokia adds more taste to these dishes. These pitika recipes are great appetizer and generally takes very less time to prepare.
