We Tried Authentic Assamese Food | Ok Tested 

You should try 1.smashed potatoes with teasel gourd 2. Duck with white melon 3. Duck with sesame seed 4. Tamarind with old borali fish 5. Assamese breakfast: Assamese finger style pitha, puffed rice, kumol chaul (stick rice, Assamese style idli pitha, coconut stuffed pitha, sesame seeds staffed pitha 6. Pork with sesame seed 7. Steamed stick rice 8. Payokh ( kheer) with joha rice 9.dhekia (Fiddle head fern) with chickpeas 10. Elephant apple with fish 11. Kosu ( elephant ear leaf)with fish 12. Kosu with meat 13. Banana steam stem 14. Bheem kol ( special banana only found in North East) 15. Banana flower sabji 16. Duck egg with jati lao (bottle gourd) 17. Khar diya mati dal (black gram) with rice 18. Mesing tribe special rice beer sai mod ( here sai means ash and mod means beer). 19. Small potato with peanut 20. small tomato 21. Kaji namu and gul namu ( if you use this lemons long time you forget lemons which are found in outside of North East. Not only taste but also smell of peels good.) 22. Bamboo shoots with meat or fish I also want to say that khar is mostly made with raw papaya. We don't use masala and turmeric powder in this sabji. But also cook this with dals. If you ever come to Assam please visit glimpses of Ahom Kingdom and it's palaces and their tombs. Jai ai axom.

As an Assamese, I feel our dishes are meant to be eaten together with rice, mostly. Like you won't like aloo pitika alone, or dry fish chutney alone. We have to have these with the combination of daal bhaat etc. That's what's the authentic way to enjoy Assamese cuisine. Atleast for me.

I am a Bengali from Assam . Believe me Assamese people make best pork , Duck and pigeon meat in Assam . No one makes that type of meat so delicious as a Assamese does . Love it 😋😋😋😋 Famous food of Assam 1) Duck meat 😋 2) Pork Meat 😋 3) Pigeon Meat 4) Tikili pittah 5) Till or Pitha 😋😋( my fav ) 6) Goroi fish ka Pitika ( Chutni)😋 7) Assam Tea is best 8) Joha Rice of Assam😋😋 ( best scented Rice of India ) 9) All meat with Bamboo shoot

An Assamese here, watching with the hopefulness of impressing them with my State's cuisine. Been an OK tested Fan since it's inception.🥹

Rice + dal + aloo pitika is heaven made combo❤

One thing i would like to confirm..not every Assamese people eat/drink the same food..it differs from region to region..Like for example -dry fish is not eaten by each and every Assamese Rice beer is also not consumed by everyone..Assam has so many communities,tribes so food habits differ.

There is a very old story for calling Assamese people as 'khar khuwa axomiya' (খাৰ খোৱা অসমীয়া). .....📌 when there was a war going on between the Mughal and Ahom empires, then the mishmi people had entered this place of Assam called 'Mohong' and they captured that place...from that place Assam used to get 90% of the salt...or even the Ahom kingdom could not pay much attention to Mohong because of the war......Moguls started selling salt in Assam at double the price to extract some profit, from that they start using the same money in the war to defeat the ahom…when Ahom Senapati Lachit Borpukhan found out that they blocked all the ways to import salt from the Moguls…the Moguls secretly sold salt in Assam through illegally through the jungle path......these are buying by the rich people of Assam . ...after a few weeks or months the poor or middle class people of Assam made a product called as 'KHAR' ...instead of salt they started using or eating khar...... All the people of the rest of Assam started using it…..in such a way that the Mughals could not sell salt in Assam…or in insult they started calling the people of Assam ‘Khar khuwa Axomiya’….but we assamese people proud to be 'Khar khuwa axomiya'❤....that we didnot come under the control of mugals... And in this way, the people of Assam took a small step and saved Assam from coming under the control of Mughals....... #Love from ASSAM❤.....

Proud to be an Assamese Love from Guwahati ❤️

Good to see people from other States of India appreciating our Assamese food. A special thanks to Mr. Vikas Khanna for throwing light on the beautiful Assamese cuisine. 😀

Khar is not supposed to have any garam masala. Khar itself is the taste. Very helpful when we are sick with fever, cough or acidity. Also thanks for mentioning the oil resources of Assam. No one outside of Assam knows the fact that Digboi in Assam is the first oil field in Asia and second in the world. Oil from Assam is now marketed by Indian Oil Corporation.

Dry fish chutney, aloo pitika, poita vaat aahhaaa what a delicious combo🤤

Proud to be an Assamese❣️💌জয় আই অসম

Proud to be an Assamese, জয় আই অসম ❤

Khaar isn’t supposed to taste like just salt 😂😂😂 and we usually eat omita r khaar , made from papaya; and we don’t eat dry fish chutney straight out of a bowl 😂 but it was nice to see Assamese cuisine being represented- also you should try kumura duck (duck with gourd) Assamese cuisine is just so diverse you HAVE to come here to try it ❤

It's really pleasing to see you people trying Assamese dishes and especially including bodo's 'Onla'. Thank you so much For suggestion y'all can also try 'Onla with bamboo shoot' and 'black gram with chicken'

Love the way you gave honest reviews of the Assamese cuisine also like the way you guys talking about some interesting facts about Assam in between.... love from people of Assam ❤

Not all Assamese eat dry fish, pork or drink Rice beer. Assam is very versatile in its cuisine and receipe . And you ate aloo pitika without rice and daal. When you have right combination you'll enjoy the food more. And Digboi is my hometown 😍

Fun fact : We Assamese do not add much machala(s) into our foods. Khar, which is very helful to our digestive system is being eaten like this since the very beginning. The taste is blend, but the health benefit you get is immense. We eat khar by mixing it with banana stem, Papaya, Bottle gourd etc etc. For the aloo pitika part, we like to have it with gorom bhaat, boil egg, some daal (optional), the aloo pitika, little bhoot jolokiya pickle and boom you just had the best comfort food of the Assamese people. Also i would recommend Duck/Chicken/Pork with sesame seeds curry to anyone from outside Assam. It tastes heavenly. You can also try the pigeon curry. Plus Duck with white gourd is one of the popular dishes from Assam. Be it Bihu or any other family function a duck curry is must in the menu. Happy eating. :)

I loved to see Ok tested videos..i saw every videos since 6 months ....and I'm so happy today.this video winning my heart and i wish you guy's visit our Assam once and taste every kind of food

Love this! Khub bhal lagise! Love from Assam ❤️❤️❤️🌟

I’m so Happy that you guys tasted our BODO Traditional curry ‘ONLA’. I hope our ASSAM Our Whole NORTHEAST gets more recognition and Thank You very much for Representing our Traditional Foods ❤

I really love the fact that, as an Assamese guy whenever we see a video related to assam we get united and become so proud to represent our state and we always try to support our culture by supporting any video related to our motherland. Even if we are underrated we still love our tradition, our culture and our heritage. Long Live Assam!❤️

Everything about Assam be it cuisines, culture, traditional attire, people is good. Love them

Being an Assamese person 1stly Nomoskar dada Aloo pitika + poita vat best uff that test... Best ❤ Poita vat means boil rice ko rat var bhigo ke rakho. Then in the morning ko khalo it's test like tenga sour naturally ahh jata hai mast lagta hai garmi ke din meh khana bara mast hoga. It's really helpful also thadak feel ho jayega pura cool cool ❤

As an Assamese who's currently out of my hometown, I absolutely loved seeing you guys enjoy duck meat, I miss it so much! Absolutely grateful for the "Khar khuwa Axomiya" mention

That is not Laizaak, that's LAI-SAKH 😭🤣 love you guys 💗

Being an assamese that aloo pitika (mashed potato)is eaten with rice and simple daal it's a great combination and thanks for represent our traditional food love from Assam

Being an Assamese i am so happy to see you guys trying our cuisine❤You missed our "Pitha" i wish next time you will try a complete Assamese thali. We eat aloo pitika with rice and daal

Being an Assamese and a fan of Satyam, this video is winning my heart. I wish you guys visit Assam once and explore our state.❤❤❤

Oh my God i was waiting for this 🥺❤️ much love guys 💝

Love from Assam bro...." Bor Dhunia lagise"..…or itna information diya apne bohot accha laga sunke...alu pitika+ Dal( Dali)+ rice(vat) it's the combination.... Shidol is Bengali food bro...and Laai Shak ka matlab mustard leaves nhi hai ye dusra sag hai.. mustard leaves ko "SHOROYOH SHAK"bolte hai...Duck curry (HAHOR MANKHO)... Wowwww

Aloo pitika is a side dish..It goes so well with Rice..❤..

You guys include less than 5% of assamese dishes in your video. Assam has a wide range of dishes❤

Alo pitika, dail, vat this combination is best of our Assamese dishes💞

Being an Assamese very proud to see the cuisine that u presented and tasted in ur video... But this is few... There are varieties of food in different regions of Assam... So hope u will try the complete Assamese thaali one day.... ❤

An Assamese here, and seeing you guys taste cuisines from my state, just makes my heart so happy! Khar is basically alkaline/bicarbonate, and it's used to soften down vegetables...and is a very great digestive! Also, it's laai haal/saag,i.e., mustard greens. Would've loved you guys to try maas pura,maas pitika, maas bilaahi, gahori pura etc...but for the next time! And Satyam and Vivek, can definitely see the glow in you post the food coma! Love OKTested since the beginning! And do visit Assam soon! ❤️❤️❤️

Being an Assamese fan of OkTested, for years now, this video definitely is a wonderful gift♡ You missed the dessert and pithas! Now you have to come to Assam to have Doi Sira with Gur🥺

We are Khar khowa asomiya 😊 and thank you for making video with representation our food....❤❤.

Aloo pitika with rice Yumm🤤

Being an Assamese myself, aloo pitika is eaten with rice, and there are various ways dry fish and rohi(Assamese beer) is made(try the white one), Assam is diversed state within itself Morever, the fact tht you guys had everything with your hands was heart warming❤️ Much love from Assam (Try tupula bhat with duck curry for a phenomenal taste)

Aloo pitika is basically a side dish. The most simple way of having it is Aloo pitika, daal with rice and kaji nemu (lemon which is endemic to Assam and also has GI tag)! Heaven ❤

Alu pitika+rice+daal Heavenly combo for me..with some chillies..

Loved this video. Love from Assam..Jatinga❤

As an Assamese who has an Odia partner (Wonderful place and people) and did her alma mater from Uttarakhand (one lovely place and people), seriously this video made my day❤

Assamese cuisine is very subtle you wont find much spices used in their food . They try to keep it simple and let the ingredients come through rather than spices

If you want to taste the best quality rice beer, visit Assam during the Bihu festival.

The most amazing video in this Indian cuisine series. Really glad and happy that you guys have so beautifully presented the entire video with the very correct facts of Assam. ♥️ And will wish you all should come here once to try more authentic food and see the culture of our Lachit Borphukan's land.

Very correct Satyam. Berma (which you called shidol as it is only called by bengalis) is the authentic name for the fermented fish(is lil soft wrt dry fish) used for almost every tiprasa dish (except nonveg) in Tripura by it's indigenous people called Tipra. LOVE from Tripura for the tiny trivia you gave. Thanks ❤ Similarly we Tipras also make aloo pitika but with berma in it and no mustard oil called locally as ALOO MOSDENG.

The mystery of suicidal birds in jatinga in halflong, Assam still remains as an enigma for many. Some believe it's the hunters that blind out the birds visiting at night by big lights and then they hunt them down, however others believe in the suicide thingy. Researching on it was amazing.

In Jatinga it is said that the birds suiside, but it is actually not. During the winter period i.e., as you said nov-dec ... So called migratory birds Amur falcon flew over Assam from Syberia as the weather is not suitable for them in Syberia.. And those birds rest at Jatinga. As it is winter, their is much fog and moist in surrounding , due to which their wings becomes heavy and unable to fly... Ultimately it leads to dead of those birds.That's why it is called as Suicide place of Amur Falcons..

Satyam's expressions on smelling dry fish chutney was on next level😅😂

Khar main spicy nahi dalte😊

Loved Satyam he is enjoying food eating with hand

Toooo muchhhhh love from ASSAM guys❤️

POITA bhat with Aloo pitika combination hitsss ❤

I love how Satyam finds similarity between Odia and Assamese food. 🫶

Dal bhat aalu pitika shidol chutney ❤❤uff I need it now to need ... I m salivating

Daali, bhat, aloo pitika ,Gul nembu,and bhoot jolokia combination ...,,,Ghar ki yaad agayi

Being an Assamese very happy to see this video thanks for giving to our Assamese food Joi Aai Axom 🙏❤️

Aloo pitika is always consumed with steam rice and dal with kaji nemu and a chilly 😊thts how you emjoy a hearty meal. And rice beer is not at all consumed by all communities. Also there are so many tribal communities in assam so all the cuisines you tried today actually might not be a perfect assamese meal for sure . Also you guys should have tried Joha rice /black rice payokh (kheer)which cant be missed 😊😊 always a next time 😊

As an Assamese boy...I love your content ❤️...Keep growing 👍

Also Masor tenga is a must try... Most authentic Assamese dish

Feeling so much proud as an Assamese..and very much thankful to all the team members...you should come to our place assam...to see our diverse culture diverse nature with very love of people

Dry fish doesn't mean sedol fish for Assamese people. We prepare 'Hukoti' from locally available fish in the pools,rivers of Assam. If you want to have the real taste Assamese Rice beer then you have to visit Assam.... Love from Assam❤

You should definitely try “Sigpho tribes traditional dishes from Assam”… it’s one of kind!!

Bhat(rice)+dali(dal)+aloo piyika 🤤🤤

As an Assamese, couldn't resist clicking on this video! Pork with lai xaak is a 🔥 combination. And that 'Khar Khua Axomiya' part? Loved it! The reactions and facts were on point! 💛 So awesome to see Assamese food finally getting the recognition it truly deserves now. 🍲

Been Watching OK Tested From Past 5 Years. Finally Assamese Food Is Here.❤❤❤

"Khar hua ohomia" 😃 i like their cute accent... 😁 btw love from Assam

We also have popular Assamese dishes like- 1. Maas+O tenga(fish+elephant apple) 2. Kosu thuri+ xoru bilahi (Colocasia leaves+small tomato) 3. Pork with bamboo shoots 4. Fish with bamboo shoots.

I'm overwhelmed seeing my people from all over Assam talking about our state so beautifully ❤

It’s Axomiya Time! So excited to see the dishes featured in this video.

Love from Assam ...hum aloo pitika ke sath Dali bhat khate hai

Thanks for mentioning Jatinga…… it’s also famous for its natural beauty…….

That's very sweet of you guys .. feels really blessed that u showed so much love to our Assamese cuisine 😄💖

Aaloo Pitika goes with Rice.. Rice,Aalo Pitika and ghee is basically soul foood! Pork with Laai Haak (not Laizaak) this is emotion.. Haahor mangkho (Duck) uffff I feel hungry now! & since it was Assamese cuisine there should have been Jolpaan ( that is our go-to breakfast)

I'm from Digboi 😁 and i feel happy becuz my town was mentioned here

Love from Assam (Majuli) 💚💚💚

I surely know satyam is going to say something in odia.. Cause Odia cuisine and Assamese cuisine are nearly equal

As an Assamese, it feels so great to see you guys tasting our authentic dishes! We do have a lot of other mouth watering dishes as well. Please do come to Assam! We would definitely love to host you guys and take you on a tour to beautiful places over here. Assam is a hub of food, culture and aesthetic scenarios everywhere you visit! Comeeee soon! Also, shoutout to OKtested for growing and exploring. Love each one of you! Godspeed. ❤

ঔটেঙা+কচু গুটি+গৰৈ মাছ it's heaven ❤ dry fish chatni it's popular in Assam

I love to see you eating Assamese food

You guys did amazingly with our cuisine! Bas next time, get the folks to serve you everything together like a huge thali, with bhaat, dail, Khar, meat curries, rice wine etc, everything goes really well together as a whole meal. One thing you missed was dhekia xaak, Northern pahadi log lingda bolte hain, it grows wild in the Northern mountains. Had the privilege of living in Rishikesh for 3 yrs, I was the only weird person stopping on the side of the road randomly and picking dhekia xaak haha! Also masor tenga and puthi masor bhaja. Do go to the North East if you can, not just Assam but all the 7 sister states, amazing people, food and culture, amazing hospitality and stunning landscapes! Sending much regards :-)

Being a fan of ok tested for years its great to see them making a video on our Assamese food❤🥺 just love from assam
