Ahom Bogori (Peach)

Ahom Bogori (Assamese আহোম বগৰী)  in English is called Peach. It's scientific name is Prunus persica. Peaches resembles and closely related to apricots and plums. Peaches are soft when ripened and are very delicious. Unlike apricot and plum, peaches have one large middle seed.  As I googled I found that peach fruit was domesticated and cultivated for the first time in Northwest China. It's a summer fruit and largely available in Assam. It is believed that the name ' Ahom bogori ' is derived from the Kingdom of Ahom . It may be because the Ahoms have brought with them the seeds of peach.  Ahom is a large community originally from the Chinese province of Yunnan, which is located on Southwest China. From Yunnan, they migrated into Myanmar and then after crossing the Patkai Mountains entered Assam. The Ahoms have established their dynasty and ruled the Ahom Kingdom, the present day Assam for about 600 years.  We call this fruit as ahom bogori from childhood.  B

Pork with mustard greens (Lai xaak)

Mustard green is a green leafy vegetable. I love its taste.  Its little bitter but it taste good once cooked.  Many recipes can be made with this beautiful green leafy vegetable. Fish with mustard greens , mustard greens stir fry, mustard green raw chutney,  boiled mustard greens are some of the mustard greens recipes.    Pork with mustard greens is a very special recipe of  Assam . Use full grown mature and soft mustard green leaves only. This recipe is very simple and very less spices are used. Assamese cuisine  is in fact less spicy compared to other Indian cuisines.  Pork with mustard greens is served as a side dish with rice. Assam is a rice eating state and Assamese generally eat rice at lunch and dinner.  So this pork  recipe can be served at lunch and dinner with steamed rice. But some people don't like to have leafy vegetables at night.  So for them serve at lunch only. Pork with mustard greens (Lai xaak) 📎 Course :  Main course  📎Cuisine :  Indian

Namsing : A Mishing Delicacy

 Mishing are an ethnic community living in parts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Unlike other Assamese cuisines, Mishing cuisine is also unique of its kind. Mishing people are mainly non-vegetarian and rice is their main food. They eat different greens and herbs as vegetable together with fish, pork, chicken, duck meat etc. Namsing is a very popular dish among Mishing people. Namsing is nothing but dry and grounded fish . Dry and grounded fish is equally popular among other ethnic groups of Assam also but they call it hukoti .  The method of preparation of namsing is little different from hukoti. In preparing namsing Mishing people also add few herbs like colocasia leaves, long coriander etc. Small river fishes are used to make namsing.
