Depending on the natural and geographical environment, the food supply of a single ethnic group or community in a region is based on. Just as the natural environment caters to the food supply, so too does the diet seem to be accepted by all. Therefore, there is a difference between the food security of the people living in the desert and the food security of the people living in the coastal areas. If you look at it from that side it is a combination of innumerable hills and plain areas. The diversity of its geographical and natural environment is remarkable. There are many rivers and sub-rivers like Brahmaputra, Dihing, Dichang etc that flows through the chest of the Assam. Therefore Assam is also known as reverie area (mother zone of river). The climate of Assam is neither hot nor cold. As well as the climate, Assam is naturally a fairly pristine state. Due to the abundance of paddy in Assam; rice is the staple food of these people. In this article we will discuss about vegetables, fish, and meat drinks etc. which are taken with rice.
