Chicken Noodle and Dumpling Soup

Chicken noodle dumpling soup is a comfort food. Serve it in lunch or dinner. I use maggi noodle which is a very popular noodle brand in India. And the dumplings that I made is actually called momos. So you can say it's a chicken maggi momo soup also.

This chicken noodle and dumpling soup is my kids  favorite. As they don't like much veggies, I made it simple by adding only chicken pieces. But if you like, you can add carrot, spinach, broccoli etc. You can serve it in lunch or dinner. But as we Indians like to have rice or roti in lunch or dinner,  I serve this chicken noodle and dumpling soup in breakfast.

I use maggi noodle which is a very popular noodle brand in India. And the dumplings that I made are actually called momos. So you can say it's a chicken maggi momo soup also.

I generally use wheat flour instead of all purpose flour because wheat flour is more healthy than all purpose flour. But you can use any flour of your choice.

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

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. At first they clean the fishes and then dry them under sun or on smoke over stove top. After that they grounded the dry fishes together with different herbs in husking pedal (dhaki). They use bamboo tubes and filled the tubes with the grounded mixture
