Want to taste a piece of Assam ?
Sometimes you really don’t need a cooking. Just do it. Yes, today’s traditional Assamese breakfast known as Jolpaan doesn’t need any cooking. Jolpan is a snack, breakfast or a mini meal usually consists of various forms of rice like ground roasted rice (xandoh), boiled in its husk and flattened (chira/aval), puffed rice (akhoi /malar, mudhi /murmura /pori), and variety of glutinous rice found in Assam called as bora saul, kumol saul; this unique variety of rice can be eaten without cooking, just by soaking them and all these rice forms are eaten along with curd /yogurt (doi), jaggery (goor), and various pitha. It is served with great fervor during the most popular festival Bihu of Assamese culture, in weddings and other occasions too.
Without further ado, lets get on to the recipe…Enjoy!
