Similar to Bamboo Chicken, rice based delicacies are cooked in Kerala and the North East. Many of you answered on those lines. However, during a recent visit to the North East, Ghumakkad couldn't spot any eatery selling an item cooked in a Bamboo-shell!


What happens to the burnt or charred bamboo pieces as circled in the picture above? It is crushed and used as manure in the fields. Similar to controlled burning of the stumps after a rice crop is harvested.
