Gobble down momos with a Naga flavour at Dzukou
New Delhi :Keeping alive the flavours of Nagaland in momos, Dzukou Tribal Kitchen, a restaurant serving authentic naga cuisine, has organised the Naga Raja Mircha Momo Festival in the national capital.
The festival offers hot momos available in veg, chicken and pork topped up with a sauce made from the most scorching chilly in the world “Naga Raja Mircha”.
“Though momos are not originally a dish from northeast but people love it. I wanted to give a touch of Nagaland flavour to the momos. And what better can be than the famous naga raja mircha being added to the dish?” head chef and owner of Dzukou Tribal Kitchen, Karen Yepthomi, told IANS.
“Our attempt is to keep alive the flavours of the state in different cuisines. We keep doing different food events to invent new dishes,” added Yepthomi.
The finely minced chicken stuffing, wrapped warmly in a thin coat of wheat flour, largely enhancing the raja mircha flavour, is served along with spicy chutney again made with the naga mirchi.
The pork momos were more delicate and juicier with an added touch of coriander along with chutney topped over it. But the vegetarian momos kept pace with chicken and pork momos. Equally mouth-watering, the veg momos had a combination of vegetables with rich raja mirchi.
The six pieces served in a plate are good enough to fill your tummy. Save some space for water as that is required in large quantities as you tackle the raja mircha!

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
