Sanpiau is a famous rice porridge snack from the Indian state of Mizoram. Usually, fresh veggies or meat or fish are added to the rice porridge for added flavour and texture. 

Although Sanpiau is from Mizoram, the recipe is said to have originated from Myanmar (Burma). In Myanmar it was called Hysan byok however it became popular in Mizoram and evolved into Sanpiau.

Sanpiau is a rice porridge with slightly watery consistency to which non-vegetarian ingredients are added. It is very nutritious and filling.

The delicious Sanpiau will definitely make you crave for more.
