Hurum: A Traditional Assamese Snack
Hurum is a popular traditional snack from Assam, often enjoyed as a part of breakfast or evening tea-time. It is a type of puffed rice, made by parboiling paddy and then drying and roasting it until it expands into light, crispy grains. Hurum is similar to other puffed rice varieties found across India but has a distinct texture and taste due to its unique preparation method.
Preparation and Characteristics
The making of Hurum involves soaking and steaming a particular variety of rice, followed by sun-drying and roasting in a special oven. This process ensures that the rice puffs up while retaining its natural sweetness and lightness. Unlike regular puffed rice (muri), Hurum has a softer and slightly elongated texture, making it a unique addition to Assamese cuisine.
Culinary Uses
Hurum is usually eaten with milk, curd, or jaggery, making it a wholesome and nutritious meal. It is often combined with local sweets like gur (jaggery), doi (curd), or seasonal fruits, enhancing both its flavor and nutritional value. Some people enjoy it with a drizzle of mustard oil and a sprinkle of salt, creating a savory variation.
Cultural Significance
Hurum is commonly consumed during traditional Assamese festivities, especially during Magh Bihu (Bhogali Bihu)—a festival that celebrates the harvest season. It is an integral part of the Jolpan, a traditional Assamese breakfast that includes a variety of rice-based snacks and dairy products.
Health Benefits
Hurum is a light, easily digestible, and energy-rich food. Being naturally gluten-free and containing minimal oil or artificial additives, it serves as a healthy snack option. The combination of Hurum with curd or jaggery further enhances its nutritional value, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and probiotics.
Conclusion
Hurum is not just a snack but a reflection of Assam’s rich culinary heritage. It embodies the simplicity and resourcefulness of Assamese food culture, offering a perfect blend of taste, nutrition, and tradition. Whether enjoyed during festivals or as an everyday treat, Hurum continues to be a beloved food item among Assamese people.
