Khorisa Fish Curry
Images on Rasoi Buddy are for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the exact appearance of the final dish.
Khorisa Fish Curry is a magnifique and pungent masterpiece from the riverine cultures of Assam. It features fresh river fish slow-cooked in a light gravy flavored with Khorisa, which is traditionally fermented bamboo shoots. This dish is a symbol of the Northeast's love for unique fermented ingredients that provide an intense, sharp tang to the meal. The aroma of the fermented bamboo is quite strong, but it perfectly cuts through the richness of the fried fish. It is an honest representation of the tribal culinary soul that values forest produce and seasonal catch. I recommend serving it piping hot with a mound of steamed sticky rice.

Tips & Secrets
- If you prefer a milder aroma, rinse the fermented bamboo shoot in cold water before adding it to the pot.
- Always use mustard oil for the authentic smoky Northeast flavor profile; other oils won't provide the same character.
- Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform cubes so they cook at the same rate as the fish.
