SMOKE SIGNALS FROM THE NORTHEAST —

From the kitchens of Manipur, Chef Pradip Abung brings forward a soulful interpretation of indigenous coastal flavours with his Roasted Stuffed Mussels.

Blanched mussels are finely chopped and sautéed with spring onion, garlic, seasoned mashed potatoes, and regional spices before being carefully stuffed back into their shells and fire roasted — creating a dish that balances comfort, smoke, texture, and heritage in every bite.

Rooted in the culinary traditions of Northeast India, this creation reflects the beauty of transforming humble local ingredients into contemporary plated artistry.

This is more than a dish.
It is a story from the hills, served through fire and flavour.

Stay tuned for more editions from the Northeast kitchens.

In the culinary world, hygiene is not a choice — it is a responsibility.
Every dish begins with clean hands and a commitment to safety.

Why Hand Hygiene Matters:

• Maintains professional kitchen standards
• Builds trust and credibility

When to Wash Your Hands:
• Before handling food
• After touching raw ingredients
• After using the restroom
• After coughing, sneezing, or touching face
• After handling waste

Proper Handwashing = Professional Discipline

Let us pledge to uphold the highest standards of hygiene in every kitchen, every day.
