North East India comprises seven states: Arunchal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, and Mizoram. The cuisine is a blend of diverse culinary traditions and distinct from the rest of India. The cuisine is pedominantly non-vegetarian, watery, less oily, more bland, and rice and fish-based. The Nagaland eatery at Dilli Haat offers a tasting thali that you can see below. Rice with a dhal, a chicken curry midly spiced with a dry bitter gourd and eggplant dish to complement the lightly boiled greens in a salty water broth. A light salad accompanied the meal made of spring onions and bamboo in a lemon salt marinade. The extremely hot chili pickle was mixed with a fermented fish that added all the needed zing.
