Lokqua - Muka Nga | Carpletmola (Smoked Indian Carpletmola)

Muka Nga (Amblypharyngodon mola), also known as Indian Carpletmola, is a beloved fish variety from the heart of Manipuri cuisine, cherished for its rich flavor and unique texture. Our smoked Muka Nga is prepared using a hybrid drying technique—combining traditional fire and modern electric methods—preserving the natural goodness of the fish.

This popular delicacy is available in three sizes, ensuring versatility in your kitchen:

• Small Size Fish: Perfect for adding a crunchy texture to your dishes when shallow-fried. Ideal for stir-fries or vegetable stews like Kangsoi, this size packs a punch of flavor in every bite.

• Medium Size Fish: A great all-rounder for those who prefer a balance of texture and flavor. It works wonderfully in classic Manipuri dishes like Kang-hou and can also be enjoyed on its own as a crispy snack.

• Large Size Fish: Best for hearty meals, the larger pieces are perfect for slow-cooked stews or as the centerpiece in a rich, flavorful stir-fry. This size delivers a robust, savory taste, making it a favorite among those who savor a stronger fish flavor.

Whether you’re making a simple side or an elaborate meal, smoked Muka Nga adds a touch of Manipuri authenticity and deliciousness. Packed with essential nutrients, it’s not only tasty but also nutritious, making it a valuable addition to your culinary repertoire.
