Description

Thambou (Lotus Stem)

Thambou is the Manipuri (Meitei) name for lotus stem (lotus root), obtained from the sacred lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera), locally known as Thambal. It is a highly valued and nutritious ingredient that has been an integral part of traditional Manipuri cuisine for generations.

Known for its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, Thambou is used in a variety of authentic dishes. One of the most popular preparations is Thambou Singju, a traditional Manipuri salad made by finely slicing fresh lotus stem and mixing it with herbs, chili, roasted gram flour, roasted perilla seed powder (Thoiding), and fermented fish (Ngari). Thambou is also cooked in curries, stews, and vegetable dishes.

Rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, Thambou is appreciated for both its delicious taste and health benefits. It is an important part of Manipur’s indigenous culinary heritage and reflects the region’s rich tradition of using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
