👩‍🍳 How to make Jorhat Breakfast

Prepare poita bhat (overnight): Ferment rice as in recipe #1.
Prepare pitika accompaniments (25 mins): Make fish pitika and baigan pitika.
Serve together (5 mins): Plate the fermented rice with both pitikas alongside — the combination of sour rice with smoky brinjal and mustardy fish creates the definitive Jorhat morning meal.

📖 Cultural notes

Jorhat was the last capital of the Ahom Kingdom before British annexation — its culinary traditions are among the most historically preserved in Assam, and the poita bhat breakfast represents the Ahom era's simple, nutritious morning culture. ---
