Eromba (Meitei: ꯏꯔꯣꯝꯕ) is an ethnic dish of the Meitei community of Manipur, India.[1]
History
[edit]The word "eromba" comes from "eeru taana lonba", a Meitei term for a liquid that is mixed.[2]
Preparation
[edit]The vegetables (such as potatoes, stink beans, ginger lily's aromatic rhizomes and garlic), spices (such as chilies) and herbs are boiled with or without ngari, a fermented fish product,[3] then smashed with hands, whisked with a whisker or blend with a blender.
