PAKNAM - Traditional Manipuri flat baked dish

Paknam - A traditional Manipuri flat baked dish.
Indigenous communities have one such item which is traditional and symbolizes home and hearth. One such is PAKNAM literal translation being a flat bake. It's a flat bread made with the ingredients listed below:
Besan, King Chilly for heat and aroma, green chilies for the zing, roasted fermented fish NGARI for the flavour, Fresh chives and salt to make it...a dough for baking/steaming.
It's magic touch comes from the fresh turmeric leaves used to envelope it before its journey over the fire.
The taste is indescribable in its awesomeness.
