Description

Which fabric is Assam best known for? Silk, right? But why talk of fabric in a food blog? This might be a nose scruncher for some, but stir-fried silkworms are a delicacy favoured by many Assamese. After the silk is taken out from the cocoon, the pupa is boiled in water and then stir-fried. Essentially a spicy tribal recipe, it has a crunchy outside and a soft gooey center. It is a must-try for all the not-so-faint-hearted who have an itch for the untried and taboo.
