Sing Mapan Singju is a delightful Manipuri salad crafted with tender ginger flowers, locally known as "Sing Mapan," combined with traditional singju ingredients. This refreshing dish offers a unique twist to the classic singju, infusing it with the delicate floral notes and subtle spiciness of ginger flowers. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors of Sing Mapan Singju make it a popular choice during the spring season in Manipur, capturing the essence of the region's culinary heritage and celebrating the abundance of seasonal ingredients. Manipuri salad differs from the salads of other cuisines in the sense that it is seasoned with crushed red chillies and steamed ngari (fermented fish). Sing Mapan singju is best eaten when there is a sore throat or to strengthen immune system, a salad prepared with the flowers of the ginger plant as the main ingredient.
