Abokki heikru ashuba & singzu

In this place, you'll get heikru ashuba, singzu, yerum bora and normal bora also.  In my earlier post, I have talked a lot about bora.  So, let me be a more specific of other items available here.  Before I go into details, let me tell you the location of this place.  It is located in the Manipur University campus.  You will find this shop in the parking area of SBI university campus.  There are two shops in the parking area and the one I am talking about is the second shop.
Here, in this shop you'll get singzu, yerum bora etc.  Yerum means egg.  So, it means bora made up of egg.
Singzu:- it is one of the simplest and popular Manipuri snacks.  It is made up of combination of vegetables like lotus stem, cabbage and other herbs; another core ingredient is chickpeas(grinded), thoiding(black sesame) roasted and grinded, mixed with ngari(fermented fish), salt and pepper for taste.
The speciality of this shop is heikru ashubaHeikru means gooseberry/amla.  It is made up of heikru cut into halves and mixed with condiments (made up of roasted besan, roasted and grinded black sesame, salt and pepper).  Heikru ashuba is the best thing to have when you are feeling sleepy and bored.  It will surely open up your senses.  You can buy this heikru ashuba for Rs.10/- or 20/-.
