Images on Rasoi Buddy are for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the exact appearance of the final dish.
Khorisa Maas is an iconic Assamese fish curry that defines the bold and fermented palate of North-East India. This dish pairs fresh river fish with 'Khorisa' (fermented bamboo shoot), resulting in a sharp, tangy, and intensely aromatic gravy. It is a celebration of local preservation techniques and the abundance of Brahmaputra's biodiversity. The taste is a complex interplay of the earthiness of bamboo and the delicate sweetness of the fish. Served traditionally with steamed rice, it is a soul-warming meal that captures the essence of Assamese heritage.
