Prateek Sadhu: Veggies from the North-East

If you’ve been avoiding a trip to the north-eastern part of our country on account of being a vegetarian, then it’s time to correct this misconception

I want to travel to the North-East and eat, but I’m a vegetarian. Is that a viable option?

The general perception of cuisine from the North-East is that it is heavy on meats. This isn’t the case. They have a whole range of herbs, vegetables, root vegetables, fruits and tubers. The green vegetables they eat are exceptional and the way they cook them is super tasty. As a vegetarian, I would not worry about going to any of the North-East states. It’s high time that we change this perception and stop putting various cuisines in boxes. We must start having meaningful, corrective conversations.

Prateek Sadhu is an award-winning chef, whose first restaurant, Masque, is India’s top rated eatery according to Asia’s Top 50 Restaurants 2022
