Naga Chicken Curry
Naga Chicken Curry is a bold, minimally spiced dish built around Nagaland's distinctive ingredients — fiery king chillies, tangy bamboo shoot and pungent fermented soybean. Naturally light on oil, it delivers intense flavour through fermentation and heat rather than a long spice list.
