OMBHAL

North Eastern States of India are collectively known as the ' Seven Sisters ' , which was named in 1972. The Seven Sisters comprise Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland & Tripura. Later in 1975, Sikkim is included as 8th state.
Nagaland is the magnificent state with magnanimous culinary treasures & shares it's boundaries with Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Myanmar & Manipur. The cuisine of Nagas is basically spicy with many varieties of chillies available here. Though smoking, fermenting & sun drying are techniques used in Naga cooking, here is a recipe of pickle cum vegetable curry cooked with tamarind & jaggery . Pork, meat & fish are commonly used along with bamboo shoots & vegetables & in few vegetarian recipes ,I chose this one. Ombhal is also in cuisine of other seven sister states too.
Ombhal tastes best with aromat rice.
