Axone or Akhuni is fermented soya bean cakes that are used to make Akhuni pickle or added to meat dishes to enhance their flavour. It is quite a staple with the people of Nagaland and the Sema tribe is usually credited for making the best Akhuni.
Sumi dialect has a typical accent among the Nagas... other tribes cannot pronounce some certain vocabularies and letters of sumi, so in the process while attempting to pronounce AXONE, for their convenient sake they started to use Akhuni and akhuni has no meaning at all. Every Nagas knows Axone was originated from the Sumi community...it was, is and still widely used by Sumi.

I'm 3 years late but i admired Chef Kunal after seeing him on Master Chef India but my admiration and respect for him grew more after seeing him smell and taste axone without gagging or making disgusted faces. He is brave enough to explore the vast horizons of taste (in this case acquired taste) for his passion and career and for that hats off to him.

Akhuni here in Nepal we call it Kinima... I remember when i first time i tried Akhuni.. It smell too bad but after 3/4 tries it tastes good.. Just like first you taste beer and gets too bitter but after some tries it tastes good.. Haha I remember an incident when my landlord warns me not to cook Kinima.. Sometimes I wonder Nepal and India are so similar in Religion/Food/Cultural/Behaviour that there should no border between both countries..

Science time: The Akhuni gets its taste by the fermentation of soybeans wherein the carbohydrates and proteins are broken down to their constituent sugars and amino acids (known as proteolysis) respectively by the bacteria. In fact, the amino acids give it a distinct meat-like (aka Umami) taste (just like the one you get from monosodium glutamate, commonly known by its brand name, Aji-no-moto). Besides, it also has a smokey flavor provided by the combustion of the firewood (wherein food is cooked over an open fire) in a typical Naga Kitchen.

This mister needs some social etiquette lessons especially when dealing with rural populations. I thought he was doing a great job showcasing lesser known food until he described her as "this lady", calls the kitchen "typical" and "humble" (it has a looking down intonation as opposed to using the term traditional) and then later hand signs rudely for someone to not enter the kitchen, which I assume is a person LIVING THERE. He is a man who cooks in the kitchen himself as a chef, and YET has to point out "both men and women participate in the kitchen" as an unaware person that in most rural populations in India, men commonly participate in cooking especially for a large gathering. As an ethnobotanist I absolutely hate such behaviour and self glorious exposure. I wish he was more sensitive in his approach as much as he was informational. smh.

I totally agree! I mean if he is carrying out a show on exploring food culture, he has to build a rapport with the locals. But he on the other hand doesn't even think it's necessary to mention the name of the woman calling her "this lady". Huge difference between the foreign food explorers and " This guy". This video looks like he just went there forcefully... So he had to just finish the introduction of akhuni and get out from there. Didn't even try to get familiar with the food and the importance of akhuni from the point of view of the locals. I mean it's his own fellow Indians. I see why anyone would be curious to get to know more. But it looks like he just went there. Got his job done and returned back to the city.

This has been in use traditionally for all purpose, to eat as plate, wrapping food etc .. and best in such processes. Banana leaves are used in place of it if nt available. Plz try chicken liver etc wrapped in this leaf and cooked inside the ash inside the firewood pit... Also can be used to wrap boil fish, rice/millet cakes etc. And for So many delicious dishes....
