Bamboo Shoot Saag is a rustic and deeply aromatic dish from the forested hills of the Northeast. I use tender, fresh bamboo shoots shredded finely and cooked with local green leafy vegetables and a simple tempering of garlic and chilies. This dish is a symbol of the forest-to-table culture where ingredients are gathered daily from the surroundings. The taste is incredibly unique—pungent, earthy, and carrying a magnificent sharp scent that defines tribal cooking. It is a very honest meal that provides high nutrients and a unique sensory experience. I recommend serving it warm with a mound of local red rice.
