Thasso Bisong Bathwn

Thasso Bisong: Taro stem
Bathwn: to mash or make a chutney

This delicacy is best with smoked tiny prawns or fish. But in this particular recipe I have not used any to make it a pure vegetarian one.

Ingredients:

1. Thasso Bisong a bunch
2. Paste of Onion+Ginger+Garlic+Red Chilli (or fresh chilli)
3. Turmeric a little
4. Salt to taste
5. Mustard oil

Method: 

Peel skin of Thasso Bisong, wash and cut into one inch pieces.
Heat oil, fry paste, add turmeric and Thasso. Add salt. Cook covered on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, Thasso gives out lot of water and gets cooked in the same water. Cook till it is completely dissolved. Keep stirring and mashing the Thasso while cooking.

Thasso Bisong Bathwn is ready to be served.

This Bodo delicacy can be cooked with fish, smoked or sun dried fish, pork or even naphaam. 

I cooked this dish with fresh fish and it turned out super delicious. 

There are several varieties of Thasso, this particular one is called Thasso Dudali. I have chosen this variety as it is very tasty and less likely to irritate the throat while eating.
