Sikkimese traditional foods, love to eat ....

  

 Sikkim is really famous for its scenic beauty and peace, but another thing that Sikkim has a beautiful grasp on is its street food! Its local food is comparatively unique and different from the one found in North India. Sikkimese cuisine mainly constitutes rice and maize. 

Sikkimese cuisines are big on flavourful spices, but don’t constitute much of a spicy hot food. Use of onions, cumin, garlic, chillies and turmeric is very common. Due to cold weather and high altitude, fermented foods are very common in Sikkim. To explore Sikkimese cuisine, you should understand that it is influenced by its neighbouring countries of  Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, but the basic aura of Indian food and rice is staple. 

Sael Roti – It is made using fermented rice and is cooked in the shape of rings, resultantly it looks like a South Asian version of a pretzel. It is a part of Sikkimese cuisine and can be eaten with various dishes, as it is a mildly sweet bread. It is a very popular bread in Sikkim due to influence of Nepali cuisine in Sikkim’s culture.  

     Chhurpi-Ningro Curry – Chhupri Cheese is a Sikkimese product made from Yak’s milk. The Chhurpi-Ningro Curry is a Sikkimese dish which is very commonly consumed by the locals! The locals love to eat varieties of mountain ferns, and Ningro curry is a combination of alpine fiddle head ferns sauteed and blended with a chhurpi cheese.  

   Bamboo Shoot Curry – It is made from fermented bamboo and is a staple dish of Sikkimese cuisine which is consumed with steamed rice.. This dish is also called Tama curry; to remove the bitter taste of bamboo this dish has a substantial amount of turmeric in it.   

   PepperOnPizza 


Dhindo – It is famously eaten with millet stick and vegetable soup. It is a vegetarian dishmade of cornflour, buckwheat and ground millet. It has a pudding (or halwa) like texture and acts as a staple dish in Sikkimese cuisine.  

Gundruk – It is a Sikkimese main course dish which is usually enjoyed with soups and curries. It is made using fermented radish and cauliflower leaves. It is said to be one of the national dishes of Nepal.  

 Thupka – A Sikkimese egg noodle dish influenced by Tibetan cuisine is Thukpa or Gya-thuk. It is a broth based noodle soup that can either be vegetable based or meat-based. 

Overall the food is tasty because it is produced organically. Would you love to have Sikkimese cuisine ? Join us for Darjeeling Sikkim Tours or North Sikkim Tours.  Enjoy traditional dishes , beautiful views and tranquility- inner peace.

मेघालयमध्ये हिमवर्षाव का होत नाही?

मेघालय, हे सुंदर डोंगराळ राज्य भारतातील सर्वात लहान राज्यांपैकी एक आहे. मेघालय हे बहुतेक डोंगराळ आहे आणि त्याचा भूभाग लहरी आहे. पर्यटकांसाठी मुख्य हवाई मार्ग म्हणजे आसाम राज्यातील गुवाहाटी शहर. मेघालयात उमियम सरोवर नावाचा एक मानवनिर्मित तलाव आहे, ज्याला बडा पानी असेही म्हणतात. मेघालयातील सर्वात उंच शिखरे राज्याची राजधानी शिलाँगभोवती आहेत. शिलाँग देखील तीन भागात विभागले गेले आहे ज्यामध्ये खालचा शिलाँग ४९०८ फूट उंचीवर, अप्पर शिलाँग ५६०० फूट उंचीवर आणि शिलाँग शिखर ६४४९ फूट उंचीवर आहे, जे मेघालय राज्यातील सर्वात उंच आहे. राज्याच्या बाबतीत, काही ठिकाणी किमान तापमान शून्याखाली आहे, तर अप्पर शिलाँग आणि शिखराच्या काही भागात वारंवार कमी तापमान दिसून येते. तथापि, मेघालय राज्य उंचावर असूनही, तेथे कोणत्याही प्रकारची हिमवृष्टी होत नाही. कमी तापमान आणि आर्द्रतेमुळे, या प्रदेशावर बर्फाचे थर तयार होतात ज्यामुळे बर्फासारखे दिसते, तथापि, मेघालय राज्यात हिमवर्षाव होत नाही. मेघालय राज्यात बर्फवृष्टी का होत नाही याची काही कारणे अशी आहेत: प्रथम, मेघालय हे आसाम खोऱ्याच्या दक्षिणेस स्थित आहे आणि जम्मू आणि...
