Answer:
Tripuri food is one of the healthiest cuisines around. The cooking is done without masalas and oil. Yet, the taste will blow your mind away!
I recently had the opportunity to tickle my taste buds at an ongoing food festival held in Agartala. From the time I reached the vicinity of the venue, my mouth began to water due to the aroma that was wafting through the air, mixed with the chill of the winter evening. This is a festival that celebrates my local cuisine and so it was very exciting to have every delicacy available around me. Usually, I would have to wait for special occasions and pujas to taste some of the dishes, but today, I could eat whatever I wanted.
The festival called ‘Tripuri Traditional Food Festival’ is usually held on a grand scale on a big field called Astabol Math at the centre of Agartala city, but this year, it was shifted to the smaller venue of Dasarath Bhavan due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The festival will go on till December 12. All sellers were wearing masks to ensure safety. As can be expected, there was a smaller crowd as compared to other years, which is a good thing.
Tripuri cuisine :
Tripuri cuisine is the type of food served in Tripura (situated in northeast India). The Tripuris are essentially nonvegetarians and hence the main courses are mainly prepared using meat, but with the addition of vegetables. Traditional Tripuri cuisine is known as Mui Borok. Tripuri food has a key ingredient called Berma which is a small, oil-pasted and dry fermented fish. The foods are considered to be healthy as they are usually prepared mostly without oil.
