Morok Metpa is a traditional spicy chutney from Manipur, made by grinding roasted green or red chilies and mixing them with fermented fish (Ngari) and salt. Often served alongside rice and curries, this fiery condiment is known for its intense heat and bold flavors. It is a staple in Manipuri households, providing warmth and a burst of flavor, especially during the rainy season. Morok Metpa not only enhances the taste of a meal but also reflects the love for spicy, tangy condiments in Manipuri cuisine.
