Assamese Khar

Axomiya Kolakhar – 200 ml

Khar is an integral part of Assamese cuisine and a meal, generally lunch, starts with khar. It is an indigenous product, an alkaline-based delicacy of Assam. The Assamese people cannot do without it and hence the epithet ?khar khuwa asomiya?. It is prepared from the banana peel as well as the trunk of the banana plant. The peel of aathiya or bheem kol (a particular variety of banana ?Musa Bulbisina) is the best for this preparation as its peel is thicker.
