Fish With Spinach (Palak) is a zero oil dish – fish boiled with palak. Let’s learn today one more dish from the Naga cuisine with step by step pictures.
Fish With Palak is a variation of Naga style fish preparation. It is a zero dish and a no bamboo shoot recipe. Nagaland is famous for zero oil dishes. We mostly consumed boiled and steamed dishes with lots of herbs that’s why it is also considered as one of the healthy cuisine from amongst many.
Boiled fish with fermented bamboo shoots is one of the most popular delicacy of the Nagas. You will find it in every Naga household or if you are a guest at a Naga home you will be served with it.
It is a mouthwatering dish, very simple and easy to make and taste divine. We require only few ingredients to make this dish and the result is lipsmacking good. It is best to make this dish with fermented bamboo shoots which is traditional but for this recipe I have used tomatoes so that all those who cannot source bamboo shoot too can try this recipe and enjoy it.
