  • U Sawathang

    "U Sawathang" is a Pnar vegetable that has now become common and is widely eaten among the Khasis too. It is so bitter that you have to throw away the first batch of water that is used to boil it. It's like a mini Karela/ Bitter Gourd with a 100 times more punch!

    Wow ka jingkthang, phin shu kyrngah ngang ngang! 😂😅

    It is cooked with black sesame seed on its own. Sometimes pork is added to it or it is also cooked with tungrymbai (fermented soya bean).

    If there are any ethno-botanists who can tell us the scientific name or the English name of "U Sawathang" it will be great! 😃

  • Jaralud bad dohsniang

    "Jaralud" (Khasi)/ "Yaralud" (Pnar) cooked with "dohsniang" (pork) is a Pnar dish but it is also eaten by Khasis. "Jaralud" is a low lying shrub that grows in pine forests. It grows in the summer season and is a refreshing addition to the summer diet. "Jaralud" also has a distinctive smell and flavour that some might not find appealing. But for those who love it, we say thank you for the chlorophyll! 😋😋😋
