About the Host
Born in Imphal, Memi has dedicated decades to documenting heirloom Manipuri recipes, wild wetland forage herbs, and indigenous fermentation traditions.
"Manipuri cuisine is unique across all of India. We do not mask ingredients with heavy oils or powdered masalas. We cook with living herbs—water celery, Chinese chives, fragrant coriander, and roasted King Chilli. In my courtyard kitchen, I invite travelers into our daily food rituals, explaining why fermentation with Ngari gives immunity and why every meal is eaten with gratitude."
