Pan ga khajing ga thongba(Colocasia tuber cooked with shrimps & fermented soya beans)

Pan as in arabi in hindi(Colocasia tuber) can be cooked in many ways...pan ironba...pan thongba and various other dishes but this one is my fav. my fren "A" who is a champ cook makes this really well and I learned it from her. This one is cooked with smoked shrimps(fresh water shrimps) which is quite expensive in Manipur but cheaper in Tripura. I used the fried version and its as good as the smoked one.

Ingredients:

• 200 gms pan/colocasia tuber
• 8-10 green chillies
• 2 inch long ginger
• 1 onion
• 4-5 spring onion
• Ngari
• 50 gms khajing(shrimps)

Method:

• Peel the pan and cut into round slices, ensure that its nit very thick. Slit the chillies and chop the onions.
• Take a pressure cooker and add abt 2 cups of water, turmeric powder, some ngari,and all the ingredients.
• Pressure cook upto 3 whistle (max)
• Once it cools down, cook on medium flame and add shrimps and salt.
• Cook for 10 mins on medium flame and serve with rice.
