Beautiful Naga girls working in their kitchen, in Nagaland

From the archive record

While one lady is brewing a stew in the pot, the other two girls are chivelling the bamboo sticks to make skewers for the meat. Nagaland, located in very Northeastern India, is a state that’s just north of Myanmar and just south of China and Bhutan. Rice, pork, chicken, dog, insects and worms, vegetables, and famous chili sauces are essential in the Naga diet. A normal Naga food meal would include rice, some kind of meat (either dry or pork with bamboo shoots), boiled vegetables, and spicy chili sauces. Just like Sri Lankan food or Indian food, meals are eaten with your hands. Naga food is considered spicy due to their love for the most famous king chilly ( known as raja mircha in the North East).
