When compared to the rest of the country, food from India&rsquo;s Northeast is comparatively less explored in India&rsquo;s urban centres. Khasi cuisine is prepared by members of the Khasi tribe and this weekend, foodies in the city will get a chance to savour some of its specialties.

&ldquo;Our cuisine has a lot of influences from South East Asia. We do not use many spices; it mainly consists of stews rather than dishes that are baked or fried,&rdquo; informs Dakiwanri Warjri, one of the two chefs who will helm the pop-up. The idea is to offer diners a new gastronomic experience. The ingredients for the pop-up have been sourced by the chef from her hometown. &ldquo;We have planned the menu keeping in mind seasonal ingredients that are now available; for example, mandarin oranges are only available in the winter at Sohra town near Shillong, and the roselle flower that is used in drinks,&rdquo; she discloses.

Hailing from Shillong and with no culinary background, she, along with sister Daphimanroi Warjri, are keen to place Khasi food on India&rsquo;s culinary map. &ldquo;It began when my sister cooked Khasi food for her friends in Puducherry, and they enjoyed it a lot. It was they who gave us the idea to do something like this. This is the second pop-up we are doing in Mumbai,&rdquo; she signs off.
ON December 3, 8 pm to December 4, 11 pm AT Veranda Terrace, Pali Hill, Bandra West.&nbsp; LOG ON TO insider.in&nbsp; COST Rs 2,124
