Many people will find you in the country who eat chicken and relish it thoroughly, but many people are vegetarian. But today we are going to tell you about a place where you will be stunned to hear about it because rat meat is more preferred in this place and it is more expensive than chicken in price.

This dish made with spices gravy is considered a very tasty meal. This dish is a traditional dish of some tribes of the north-eastern region, which is sold 200 rupees per kg, just like a broiler chicken.
