Chicken with rice flour and dry bamboo shoots.

Sharing a simple yet delicious Assamese style chicken curry recipe from my kitchen. Rice flour is traditionally used in making different curries by various indigenous tribes of Assam. Bamboo shoots is again used hugely among these various tribes. Fermented and grated bamboo shoots are dried on sun and stored for later use.
