There is more to food from the land of the Seven Sisters than momos. While much of the world woke up not so long ago to the wonders of slow cooking, seasonal products and a no-oil, no-sugar diet, this has been a time-tested routine in the North East. The smorgasbord has something from everywhere — the killer Raja Mirchi of Nagaland, the simple delicacy of Pork Bharta from Tripura, the mildly-flavoured Chahou Kheer (purple rice porridge) from Manipur... The Seven Sisters: Kitchen Tales from the North East takes one on a journey through the villages, sleepy towns and burgeoning cities of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura, culminating in the kitchens where families gather around the stove to cook, eat and celebrate life.
