Singju – A traditional Manipuri Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The traditional Manipuri cuisine, and fine dining, was a literally ‘sit-down’ affair with banana-leaf plates. Their love for rice can be seen in every household here. Some take rice with meat, and some others prefer a fish delicacy along with the main dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The populace is distinctively divided into the hill tribes (Ching-Mee) and the people of the plains (Tam-mee) and both share the produce of the other.
