Meitei cuisine
Meitei cuisine, sometimes also known as Manipuri cuisine, refers to any style of cooking characterised by the unique ingredients, techniques and dishes, associated with the Meitei people (alias Manipuri ethnicity) of Manipur, Assam, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Tripura and other Southeast Asian regions. The daily meal consists of rice, vegetables, fish and other meats. It is a Meitei intangible cultural heritage.[1][2][3]
Notable dishes
In daily meals, people often serve mild side dishes made from steamed or boiled sweet vegetables.[4]
Eromba
One of the most popular dishes is Eromba. It is made by boiling and mashing vegetables, often potatoes or beans, and mixing them with chili and roasted fermented fish.[4]
Paknam
Another well-known dish is Paknam, a savory cake made from lentil flour. It is stuffed with ingredients like banana flowers, mushrooms, fish, and vegetables, and then baked inside turmeric leaves.[4]
Singju
Singju is a popular salad made from finely chopped cabbage, green papaya, and other vegetables. It is topped with local herbs, toasted sesame powder, and lentil flour. This dish is commonly sold by street vendors.[4]
Singju is often served with Bora, which are fritters, or Kanghou, which are fried spicy vegetables.[4]
Pulses
Fermented and cooked soybeans are a common condiment in Meitei kitchens.[4]
