Arunachal Pradesh: Aalo Galo Traditional Food Experience

Description

Discover the traditional food culture of the Galo community through a guided culinary experience in and around Aalo, West Siang. The experience introduces guests to locally cultivated rice, bamboo shoot, seasonal vegetables and traditional cooking methods used in Galo households.

Guests learn about the preparation and cultural significance of Amin, a distinctive Galo rice-based speciality traditionally prepared with broken rice, meat or chicken, ginger leaves, bamboo shoot, green chilli and other local ingredients.
