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.
