Cuisine of a land is a specific set of cooking tradition and practices. It reflects
the culture of a specific society. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients
that are easily available and the climate of the area. Religious food laws also
exercise strong influences on its food habits.In Assam eating means much more than
just indulging your stomach. Food is sacred and eating is almost a ritual but the
cooking process is fuss-free and in sync with nature, a trait that reflects the
simple lifestyle of the inhabitants.
