After North- Indian Cuisine, let's talk about North-East Cuisine this week. Northeast India has exotic cuisines to offer and has slightly different food habit compared to other parts of India. I am delirious to share a recipe from Arunachal Pradesh- the place where the first rays of sun falls-'Land of the rising Sun.' Arunachal Pradesh is the largest among the North-east Indian states. The dishes of this state vary within the region, including according to tribal influence. Food in Arunachal Pradesh is simple and scrumptious and less use of oil and masala. So, after so many researches I found the perfect recipe for my #foodiemonday #bloghop #northeastcuisine challenge. It's all about the Khapse today.
First when I read about this, I was like this is the really challenging recipe with little tricky shapes but in reality, it was as simple as abc.. I just struck to this and made it for snacks. Khapse- the fried biscuit that finds an important place during the Losar festival. I referred so many sites for more details on making this fried and crispy biscuits and the importance is in making it in different shapes. Khapse has very similar taste to Sakkarpare. Khapse can be make in more than one shape, I am going to share 2 shapes of Khapse here. For more variations check the notes below.
So let's get in tKitchen, and secure our #foodiemonday #bloghop #northeastcuisine challenge this week. Cheers!
