FOOD AND DELICACIES OF CHERRAPUNJI


Even though Shillong serves as the state capital, Cherrapunji is where you should go to truly see Meghalaya's natural splendour. It's simply astounding. You'll enjoy the silence and a breath of fresh air. Depending on traffic, the trip from Shillong to Cherrapunji takes between 2.5 and 3 hours. Once you get going, have supper at one of the many roadside shacks.


There aren't many options for tourists to pick from when it comes to dining out in Cherrapunji. Indian food from the Northeast is served in Cherrapunji. Native Americans have a rich and energizing diet, and their ancient cooking methods have been carefully preserved.

 One of the most well-recommended eateries there is Cafe Cherrapunji. And everything is wonderful. You'd want to unwind there with your favorite drink because it appears to have been plucked right out of a British fairy tale. You will lose track of how many various colors of green there are in the woodlands, and the night sky is stunning with sparkling stars all around. The menu is comparable in certain ways. They offer pork or chicken thali in addition to Maggi (obviously). They include dry beef curry, rice, dal, salad, and the local vegetable of the day. You can ask for some spicy chutney but do so at your own peril. The flavor is quite mediocre, but what could possibly go wrong if local organic stuff is prepared in a homemade manner? When you can get your hands on them, though, do sample the incredibly delicious and juicy pineapples. You just need to add some rock salt and red pepper flakes, and you're set to go. 

Although Chinese cuisines, such as momos and noodles, is commonly available, some of the small eateries close to the Police Bazaar also provide South Indian fare, such as idli and dosa. Pork momos and jadoh, rice cooked with pork blood, are the region's signature dishes. The majority of restaurants offer delicious non-vegetarian food, but those looking for dal roti may be dissatisfied in the city. Pig momos and pork rice are local delicacies. In Cherrapunji, rice beer, called Khasis, is consumed during ceremonies. The Sohra Pulao, which is rice cooked with veggies but no additional spices, is yet another local specialty to sample. Locals enjoy the specialty pork rice quite a bit. Cherrapunji, which is 4290 feet above sea level, means "the land of oranges." It is well-known for its oranges. These restaurants not only sell pigs but also a variety of other red meats across the area. Here, rice is used as a main dish together with eggs, fish, meat, or vegetables. All must-haves include sohra pulao, a rice dish made with oil and vegetables but no seasonings.
