OOTY

OoTY is a very well known cuisine of Manipur, cooked and eaten in every house. Manipuri love it hardcore. There is no particular season, but Ooty is famous during the Kang Festival (Rathyatra) as it is eaten along Kechri. It is cooked using the dries peas or fresh peas along it baking soda and Chinese Chives (Maroi) in Manipuri. Ooty is considered as a heavy meal so it is usually avoided in dinner, but when it comes to Ooty who cares day or night?

There are mainly two types of Ooty, one is Mangal (dried pea) and another one is fresh green pea along with fresh green vegetable, which is commonly known as Ooty Asangba. The garnishing is always important with Manipuri cuisine. Otty is generally garnished with the fresh raw chieves and coriander. We can also sprinkle little raw mustard oil for some mustard smell. Additionally! if we want to add bamboo shoots, then that is cooked in the cooker with peas. Ushoi- Ooty is majorly famous among MAnipuri people.
