A journey through India cannot be considered complete without its food. Although the most novel of these cuisines stem from tribal cultures, there are some dishes from other regions of the country that will definitely get you interested, even if they don't get you hungry! Think you've got the stomach for these?



1. Red ant chutney

Red aunt chutney is the flavour for the Bastar tribes in the Chattisgarh region. As different as it may sound for our common sensibilities, this form of food has been relished, and also has health benefits. It is commonly ground to a thick paste called chapura. You may notice a tribal woman collecting red ants in a leaf cup, and crushing them together when dried up. A pinch of salt, sugar and chilli is added to it, to give it a complete edible flavor. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that it is a pickled flavor to relish anytime with a full meal. The red ant seller in the local village market will sell it for Rs 10 per leaf

2. Baby Shark Curry

Goa beach travellers have a special item on the seafood menu. Baby sharks are a bit too small in size and also a difficult catch from the deep waters. It is a tender-soft fish, which needs to be skinned before you have it. Shark is called Mori in Kankani. This dish is also popularly termed as Mori Mutton. So, when in Goa go for the small catch. It is a delicacy and is served at a high price locally.



3. Tujji Chicken

Try the Tujji chicken from Kashmir. It is a BBQ dish, which is served in almost all street stalls in Kashmir. A bite will melt the juicy and soft meat in your mouth. It is best served with mint sauce and onion slices.

6. Dog Meat

This may sound a bit weird as we are mostly dog lovers. As found in China, India’s tribal provinces in Nagaland and Mizoram serve dog meat. The meat is savored in many forms - fried or steamed - and enjoyed. One kg of dog meat sells for between Rs 180-220 in the local market, popular among all the tribes in Nagaland. Locals believe it has a punchy taste, and is a rich source of nutrients.



7. Black Rice

Black rice is commonly found in Manipur households. It is perceived to be a healthy alternative to white rice for your regular meals. Rich in proteins, antioxidants and minerals, vitamins, and iron - it is a sure-shot nutritional diet. You can find a greater variety in Manipur, with 20 types of black rice. Worth a try.
