Assamese Style Non-vegetarian Sunday Lunch Menu Guide

Are you planning for Sunday special lunch menu? Here is an guide for you. I have  tried to prepare this menu with the available ingredients and vegetables found in the month of May. As Assam is in a complete lock down due to pandemic Covid 19, it becomes very difficult to obtain and purchase food items. As pigs are dying due to some unknown disease and therefore there is a ban on eating pork. Chicken and mutton are also not easily available. People are also getting fear to eat river fish. So it is better to eat home grown herbs and greens.
