Regional aromatic herbs add varied flavour to the cuisine, making it simple, yet savoury and wholesome. The author’s knowledge of different Assamese dishes stems from her profound understanding of Assamese culture and tradition, which come to life in the pages of the book. This book contains more than a hundred recipes from the land of simple folk and rich cultural legacy, and is a must –have for those ready to try out mouth-watering delicacies which are easy to make, healthy, and simply delectable.
