After making a flavoursome gravy from Hyderabadi cuisine for Andhra state, now am taking you all towards Arunachal Pradesh. This state is in Northeast part of India and its one mong the seven states which goes under North eastern region of India, they are popularly known as the seven sisters. Arunachal Pradesh means land of rising sun, yes the sun hits this state before spreading its rays to the other states of India.This state is an agricultural state rich in production of cereal crops like rice,wheat,millet, sugarcane,maize and oil seeds, these are common crops of the state.Obviously rice is the staple food of the people.
Momos and thupka are the most popular dishes of Arunachal pradesh eventhough its still debatable whether momos are originated in Arunachal pradesh or has come from another nearby country coz the Monpa tribe of this state are responsible for bringing this dish here. Coming to today's recipe Zan is an another popular dish prepared with millet flour and boiling water. This zan is the staple food of Monpas, they usually have this porridge with vegetables or meat to which fermented cheese,soyabeans and herbs are added. This dish is almost like our South Indian Koozh aka porridge we prepare either with pearl millet or with finger millet flour.Rongpu Takeng is nothing a quick mashed egg spiced with just salt and ginger. This dish is called Egg Chutney and a delicious spread to enjoy with rotis which i chosed from Ramki's Space . The authentic cuisine of Arunachal pradesh goes for dishes which are simple to cook and delicious to consume.Mostly they avoid the use of oil and any kind of dry spices obviously they cook their food either by steaming and boiling to preserve the nutritive value of their food.
1cup Water
2tbsp Millet flour
Salt
Bring boil the water and salt.
Meanwhile make a thick paste of millet flour with enough water.
Add this paste to the boiling water.
Cook in medium flame by stirring continously until the mixture turns semi thick.
Put off the stove immediately.
Enjoy warm.
Rongpu Takeng ( Egg Chutney):
Recipe Source: Ramki Cooks
2nos Eggs (hard boiled and shells removed)
1/4tsp Grated ginger
Pinch of Salt
Chop the eggs, take the eggs, grated ginger, salt in a blender,blend everything as a bit coarse or smooth paste.
Serve immediately with rotis.

Delicious and lovely looking cuisine of Arunachal Pradesh.
Deepa
Wow very healthy drink lovely
I saw the egg chutney in Ramki's space too - but cudnt make it as we dont eat eggs ! lovely to see two dishes from u, Priya !
I made rongpu takeng before the thukpa, but no one ate it, could be me and slightly underdone egg, coz yours looks much more appetising then what i made of it. I am going to give it another shot soon. But the Zan thing is amazing, it is great for chilly winters using the millet flour, nice pink color
The dish is simple but the name is difficult to pronounce. First hearing abt egg chutney. Both dishes are wonderful.
that looks like our millet kanji!! so healthy and a perfect start for the day!!
Sure the Monpa tribe have so much culinary treasures, which are so hard to find these days. Zan looks very filling,egg curry must go well with our bread toast too!!!
such variety in food... looks really healthy and filling...
Yes I did read about Zan...but was so so hesitant. .this one looks pretty good. The egg chutney looks like scrambled egg..will ask my son to try.
