Bastar in Chhattisgarh is breathtakingly beautiful place with stunning waterfall, forest areas, caves etc. It also bears a rich tribal heritage and tradition that is nurtured by the tribal population over here. Attracted by this rich cultural and natural diversity, we went there to explore the place through the lens of food. To guide us in this journey we joined our host Rajneesh Panikar who runs a pleasantly rustic homestay named Aamcho Ladi in Maanjhipal village. Located amidst tall trees, farms and village settlement, it is quaint place with mere basic facilities. It is an endeavour to promote the tribal culture and heritage.
Because of the forest cover, the inhabitants over have very little scope to cultivation crops. As a result they mostly consume a variety of plants available in the wild habitat. After getting a general overview about Bastar, Rajneesh took us to show the preparation of the most staple dish, the jondhara pej which is a millet based gruel. this simple dish involves a laborious making process because the maize used in it is pounded using a dheki that too in multiple stages to obtain both coarse and fine powders. Rajneesh's wife and her sister attended it with an effortless ease. This was followed by the preparation of baasta aamath, a vegetable and rice based curry.
When done, we tasted the pej with aamath. The comforting starchy taste of the former nicely complemented the spicy and tangy taste of the later. The soulfulness of this meal was enhanced by the sal leaf bowls and spoons in which they were served. After this we went to the jungle to fetch a very intriguing ingredient for a quintessential condiment. It was red ant eggs and red ants. The nest was perched high up on a tall tree. Bringing the nest down seemed to be a treacherous task, but the village youth were unperturbed by the danger. We kept wondering how could they withstand the sharp bites of the ants once the nest was down. Rajneesh informed us that ant bites have medicinal benefits.
When we got back, Urmila ji whipped up the famous red ant chutney called chapra using a stone grinder. We tried it with the traditional liquor, mahua. The sharp acidic taste of the chapra was quite addictive. After that we took a quick tour of the surrounding places and once again gathered for dinner. Dinner comprised of rice, jhurung, laal bhaji and dal. The deeply satisfying earthy taste of the dishes left us happy and contended.
It was indeed a memorable trip in Bastar. Heartfelt thanks to Rajneesh for all the insights and warm hospitality.
* CORRECTION : Jhudung is black cow pea and not black turtle beans as mentioned in the video.

मैं बस्तर में सन 1967 में लगभग एक सप्ताह रह चुका हूँ तथा वहाँ आदिवासियों के बीच रहकर उनका भोजन ग्रहण कर चुका हूँ। स्वर्गिक अनुभव था। इतने वर्षों बाद वहाँ का वर्चुअल अनुभव में बहुत अच्छा लगा।

One of the finest episodes. Exploring Tribal Belt of India.. Hope to see more of tribal areas across India!
White t shirt guy is a true historian his narration is awesome 👍
दिल के साफ और जमीन से जुड़े लोग हैं बस्तर के , मैं पूरा 1 हफ्ता रह के आया था नवंबर 2021 में , दिवाली के बाद । लाली भाजी और भात में दाल की मात्रा नहीं के बराबर रखकर खाने का और ज्यादा मजा है । खैर चापडे की चटनी तो रहती है उम्दा है , महुआ भी आपको जो इन्होंने पिलाई वो बहुत अच्छी लग रही थी देखने से ।
अनुभव जी अपने जिस सादगी से बस्तर की छोटी सी झलक दिखाई है बहुत ही बढ़िया
The host is very simple yet knowledgeable and his hospitality is heartwarming.

भारत की स्वाद विविधता को अपने शुद्ध प्राकृतिक स्वरूप में जो प्रदर्शित किया है वो अदभुत है
Excellent episode....pure people, pure heart, pure knowledge, pure cuisine and lots more....guy in white tshirt is so humble and knowledgeable. He knows the true goal for being a human in the animal race. Anubhav, you are a gem. I can't describe your personality in words... Fun facts : voice of the guy in white tshirt is very similar to Prabhas in Baahubali !!!

One of the best episodes. This is what a real foodie does. Not only go and record street foods.
Wow! This is awesome! I have been doing some research on India’s tribal people. Thank you for all of this wonderful information. Most of these people are one with nature. Their food is simple and nutritious. I am sure they are pretty healthy. I never knew that chutney is made out of red ants ! Very interesting. Wonderful people. There is always something new to learn. You are very blessed and fortunate to be able to visit such interesting places. And I appreciate that we get to see and learn new things, traditions and cultures of other people from your videos. Thank you so much 😊
Rajneesh ji ko youtuber vlogger hona chaiye... Unke pass bahut achhi jankari hai... Sare tribes k bare me, khana ke bare me kafi kuch jankari mili bahut kuch similar hai humare aur kafi kuch different ek hi Pradesh me

One of the top videos! Lovely glimpse of the tribal lifestyle! Lots of respect for them. Hope the urban class understands them well and do not mock their kids as STs when they come to cities for education.
