Poka, a traditional dish in Arunachal Pradesh, is a delightful preparation made from fermented bamboo shoots. The process of making poka involves carefully selecting fresh bamboo shoots, which are then peeled, sliced, and left to ferment for several days. This fermentation process enhances the flavor and gives the dish its unique tangy taste. Once fermented, the bamboo shoots are cooked with local spices, meats, or vegetables, creating a savory and aromatic dish. Poka is often served as a side with rice, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Arunachal Pradesh.
