When it comes to foodies, Tripura is a less visited location. Food customs of Bengal, Burma, and other northeastern regions have a big impact on the northeast state. Tripura is renowned for its diverse range of curries and its fiery, rich food. The local specialties include rice, chicken, mutton, hog, and fish. In addition to cuisine, rice beer is a popular beverage in this area that people enjoy on special occasions.
1. Bhangui
Since Tripurians adore meat, rice is a vital component of their diet. They go to great lengths to ensure that their rice has the ideal aroma. A staple rice meal, bhangui is made by boiling sun-dried rice with ghee, onion, and ginger. In order to preserve the nutrients in the rice and give the dish a distinct scent, it is boiled in banana leaves. Tripurians enjoy serving fish and meat with their perfectly cooked rice.
2. Mui Borok
As its people lovingly refer to it, Mui Borok is the traditional cuisine of the state of Tripura. The traditional dinner plate of the Tripurian people always has one ingredient: Berma. Tripura’s favourite dish is definitely berma, which is fermented and dried fish. Because the dish is prepared without using any oil, it is regarded as being very healthful. Berma has a somewhat spicy and salty flavour that will entice your tongue’s salty taste senses.
3. Mosdeng Serma
The tart and fiery chutney should balance the other ingredients on the platter. Mosdeng Serma is essentially a tart tomato chutney made with garlic, red chilli, and berma to give the meal rich tastes.
4. Tripura’s Chuwarak
If you enjoy beer, you will undoubtedly get enamoured with Tripura, Chauk’s freshly brewed rice beer—what they refer to as their traditional beer. Rice is fermented in water to make beer. The Tripurians enjoy chauk, a well-known beverage, at festivals and other events. The state’s legendary scotch and champagne is called Chuwarak. It is made in many ways with a range of ingredients, including jack fruit, pineapple, and mami rice. The ancient way of producing Chuwarak and its natural components make it one of the safest alcoholic beverages in the world to consume.
5. Wahan Mosdeng
A well-known meal made with pig among the Tripurians. If you enjoy meat, I would highly recommend trying this delicious dish while you are in Tripura. This wonderful treat is made with pork, onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves. The meal gains the ideal amount of spice and aroma from the roasted green chilli.
