Kangsoi or Manipuri stew - how it is made!

From the archive record

Kangsoi (boiled food) is basically the most famous food in Manipur, because it is simple to make, very healthy and nutritious. It involves no cooking in oil but boiling thoroughly like soup with vegetables available in that season and with dry fermented fish and normal dry fish to make it more tasty. We always prefer to have kangsoi after the heavy festival season where we indulge in lots of oily and fatty foods.There are different varieties of kangsoi, almost all the vegetables can be put in making kangsoi. Process: Firstly boil the water and put dry fermented fish followed by onions, and the rest of the vegetables one by one. Don't to forget to put the other dry fish or fried fish (it adds to the taste) with one red chilly. And let it boiled in the low flame until the potatoes are cooked
