Khammu food

Kammu people have never used any oil in their food, they use only cold water for cooking, and eat no fried food at all. This is because fried food is unsuitable for eating with sticky rice. Another reason for not using lard in the food, is that some people cannot eat food with lard, since they would get diarrhoea or got a cough if they ate it. There were many Kammu people who came to the towns and ate food of the city people where they used oil, and then they got diarrhoea or got a cough. This was probably because earlier people used lard and not vegetable oil.
