Here is a tribute to the Living Legends of Roadside-Dhabbas Touring!! The very amiable Rocky-Mayur duo!
The quotes , the description and the mindless dropping by to the dhabbas to gluttonly savor the food..Epic Foodies...keep on making hungry and reminding that "we are here to eat only"!!
Expensive restaurants of the nawabs???..who can afford that??? India is a country with more than one billion population with a greater percentage of citizens are unemployed and under the line of poverty..but still everyone longs for a good and decent meals . The dhabbas boys are the saviors. I like the report card part where they rate the dhabbas.. The HOMP is a gateway for people who cannot really have time/money to eat out..It is a guide for foodies opting for reasonable prices...
When the dhabbas boys were denied permits to enter mainland Imphal , theyhave to humbly settle with a manipuri hotel in Nagaland. The video was totally mis-interpreted creating an image that Manipuris are rude. No, we are not. It's just that our hindi is not good, owing to the fact that Hindi is banned in Manipur.
And English was an alien -language to this people who runs roadside dhabbas in the ranges of Hills.
So , for Rocky and Mayur. I baked a typical manipuri dish "Paknam" and uploaded a pic.
Ingreidents : Besan(1 cup), Fresh Green chilly(2 nos), fresh Onion leaves(a handful), cumin seeds(one teaspoon), salt (pinch),water(half a cup).
Procedure:
The finely chopped green chiilies/onion leaves/zeera are stirred fried.
It is then mixed with besan(gram flour),a little water and salt, to make a paste.
Then neatly the paste is pour upon and folded with tumeric leaves.(The tumeric leaves give an aroma to the PAKNAM)
Pressure cook it (three whistles are just fine) then heat it on the pan(10 min)/microwave it for 5 min .
Serve Hot!!
