Jika Maas (fish and ridge gourd)

Starting today, if you visit The Bombay Canteen during the next two weeks, you will spot the tables decked with Assamese Gamusa (a cloth piece), Jaapi (farmers' hats) and dhaan (dried rice bundles) along with a menu offering Rongali Bihu specials to celebrate the state's spring harvest festival. Executive chef Thomas Zacharias has collaborated with home chef Gitika Saikia, known for creating an identity for Northeast cuisine in the city, for the menu.
