Welcome to Mizoram, after a taste of the Khasi cuisine in Meghalaya. Mizoram is another of the north eastern states where authentic vegetarian food is hard to find.
Most of the vegetarian food is typically boiled vegetables and so this watery soup with boiled vegetables is all I could make which fits the bill.
Though the soup sounds very simple, it was a delightful one to have on a wintry evening. While you savor the simple soup, I shall go over to Nagaland and get the snack ready for you.

Same pinch..I made the same bai..we found it rather bland..but I can see some chillies in your version. Lovely clicks.
Lovely clicks and you have your bai presented so well..:)
I made the same soup. I thought it had a lot of flavor but then we are not used to a lot of spices in our daily food.
Wow, bai looks filling, a prefect dish to make while the weather is too chilled.
well presented Bai!!! so comforting!!
It was bland for our tastes and I looked for another dish. Seems like you gave the dish a little punch with chillies.
chilli flakes - very good idea.. a few spices/sauces can really help
Looks like a hearty filling soup...
