ERONBA

Eromba is an ethnic cuisine of the Meitei community of Manipur, India. It is one of the simplest cuisines of Manipur, yet it is spicy because chilli is one of its major ingredients. It contains no masala. Among the Meiteis, eromba is a favourite because of its simple, great taste, so the cuisine has become integrated throughout the sibling communities of the state and the neighbouring states of North East India.
Eromba can be prepared with any compatible, seasonal vegetables, hence can vary across regions and seasons. Eromba is a traditional chutney of the Meitei's residing in the Imphal valley in North East India. This is a really spicy chutney made wit the combination of the favorite local ingredients like fermented dried fish, fermented bamboo-shoot and Raja/King chilli.

This chutney will make it's appearance in a lot of the dinner tables of  Manipur.A chutney is a MUST for lunch and dinner, and so according to the main dish, a chutney will be made that will compliment the main dish.

Eromba goes beautifully well with Pork curry, made the traditional way. The key to a good eromba is the quality of the fermented fish, the fish should be close to sweet smelling and the best way to judge is to just pick up the most expensive one in the market. It's okay to make it with any chilli that's available at hand, but it taste best when made with dried Raja/King chilli.
