Recipes: Hoihnu Hauzel

An Assamese meal can be considered incomplete without this mash potato dish. A very important side dish that is served along with many other dishes both for lunch and dinner.  While this is commonly prepared at home, you’ll find it is in restaurants around Nagaon districts in small steel bowls. Bhut Jolokia chillies are native to Assam and give this side dish a wonderful flavour and unmistakable heat.

This tangy and spicy side dish is popular in Arunachal Pradesh, North East India (Meaning "land of the dawn lit mountains") especially during the bamboo shoot season. This is served as an accompanying side dish that is a must during every meal time both lunch or dinner.
