Assamese cuisine is mild, largely non-vegetarian, and rice-based.
- Masor Tenga: A defining Assamese dish—a light, sour fish curry typically flavored with tomatoes or outenga (elephant apple).
- Duck Meat Curry: Often cooked with ash gourd, a delicacy in Assam.
- Pitha: Sweet or savory rice cakes usually made during Bihu.
- Assam Tea: You cannot leave Kaziranga without drinking strong, authentic Assam black tea.
