Lai Xaak Kukura ( Chicken )

Did you know that Lai Xaak and Sarson ka Saag are both often called mustard greens in English—but they're not exactly the same!

Lai Xaak (Assam)
• Small, tender leaves
• Mild, delicate flavour
• Less bitter
• Cooks quickly
• A favourite during the monsoon season

Sarson ka Saag (North India)
• Large, mature mustard leaves
• Bold, peppery mustard flavour
• Slightly more bitter
• Needs longer cooking
Traditionally served with makki di roti

Although both belong to the mustard family, they are different varieties with unique flavours, textures, and culinary uses.

A staple in Assamese households

Fish is a very important part of Assamese cuisine because rivers like the Brahmaputra River provide plenty of fresh fish. As a result, Masor Tenga became a daily home-style dish that many families grow up eating.

For many people in Assam, Masor Tenga is a comfort meal associated with home, family lunches, and summer afternoons. A plate of steamed rice with Masor Tenga is something many Assamese people deeply connect with emotionally.

“Our childhood in Assam, reimagined in a scoop.”

Some memories aren’t meant to stay the same —
they’re meant to evolve.

Our take on black sesame gelato is inspired by Assam’s beloved til diya laroo.
Same recipe. Same roasted sesame. Same jaggery warmth.

Just a new form.

Because nostalgia tastes even better when it melts slowly.
