What is Bumla Fish?
Bumla fish refers to small freshwater fish, often belonging to the Puntius or Barilius species, that are sun-dried to preserve them for long-term use. Drying fish is a common practice in Assam, especially in rural areas where fresh fish might not be available year-round.
Preparation and Uses
The fish are typically cleaned, salted, and sun-dried for several days until they become completely dehydrated. This drying process enhances their shelf life and intensifies their flavor. Dry Bumla fish is used in:
Curry preparations with vegetables and mustard-based gravies
Smoked or roasted dishes, often eaten with rice
Pickles and chutneys, where the dried fish is fried and mixed with spices
Cultural and Culinary Importance
Dry fish, including Bumla, holds a special place in Assamese cuisine, especially among communities living in flood-prone areas where food preservation is essential. It is also valued for its high protein content and rich umami taste.
