Northeast Indian cuisine, though rich in diversity and cultural depth, remains one of the least documented regional food traditions in India. This project emerged from the recognition of the limited resources and public awareness surrounding it. Initially conceptualized as an exploration of the region’s culinary heritage, the focus was later refined to a specific state or aspect of Northeast Indian food to allow for deeper study. An initial survey conducted among individuals unfamiliar with the cuisine revealed significant gaps in understanding and perception, including instances of bias and stereotyping related to food habits. This observation reflects broader issues of cultural misunderstanding and discrimination faced by the North-eastern community in other parts of India.
