The North East Store

The North East Store An Online Store for original produce from NorthEast India- unique foods, traditional weaves & handicraft And miss it when they are away.

The North East Store was born of a simple fact: People love where they are from. We are a group of people from the North East of India who, through the course of our lives, have lived outside of the North East and missed Home and all its comforts. We found many others in the same predicament. For too long we made do with bringing back foodstuffs and other unique items back from our too few and far

between holidays. Unfortunately, as much as we could carry, it was never enough. And when airlines rationed our check in luggage weight to 15kgs that was the last straw! So we thought... Hey, if you can't go Home, how about getting Home to you? Our store is an attempt to make you feel better by doing exactly that, bringing Home to you. The North East Store carries a selection of food items unique to the North East as well as Handloom and Handicrafts of the states of the region. We strive to showcase as many hard to come by products for people not native to the region to discover, learn about and enjoy. We at The North East Store source our products from local farmers & producers and NGOs, Government groups & Self Help Groups supporting local farmers, weavers and producers. All products are locally sourced, helping not only users find these products outside of the North East but also to expand the local nature of these products and get them out to a wider market not bound by physical markets.

Tiny but fiery 🌶️ Bird’s Eye Chilli packs a sharp, fruity heat— as a chilli powder, just a pinch can transform any dish from simple to seriously bold and when turned into a pickle, it hits even harder. One spoonful, and every meal gets a bold, spicy upgrade.

What do you call bird’s eye chilli in your language? We know it as sohmynken khnai in Khasi (literally mice chillies)

Those who cook by "feel" and by "eye" please raise your hands 👋
No measuring, no timers—just instinct, experience, and a little bit of magic. A pinch here, a splash there, tasting as you go and trusting your senses to guide you.

Cooking like this isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. To the ingredients, to the moment, to the memories that taught you what “just right” feels like.

Some recipes are written on paper… others are written in your hands.

What goes into our fermented fish chutney? Roasted fermented fish (tungtap), roasted tomato, roasted dry king chilli and some more regular chillies and a few kernels of sichuan pepper and green garlic/ chives - all chucked into the mixer grinder (because no time to use the mortar and pestle 😭)

These ingredients come together to give a chutney that’s multilayered in its flavours -spicy, funky, with a hint of tingle and loads of freshness. It sure hits the spot and makes any simple plate of rice 🍚 disappear!!
