Assamese cuisine is one of India's most understated — light, tangy and built around rice, fresh herbs and minimal spice, letting natural flavours shine.
Must-try dishes
Masor tenga, a tangy fish curry, is the state's signature. Khar, an alkaline preparation, and duck with ash gourd are local favourites, all eaten with rice.
Sweets and tea
Round off a meal with pitha (rice cakes) and, of course, Assam's world-famous strong, malty tea.
