Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Nepal

Ask what Nepal eats and the answer starts with this: himalayan comfort: dal-bhat platters, momo dumplings and Newari feasts spiced with timur pepper. Look for Dal Bhat (twice-daily platter of rice, lentil soup, curries and pickles), Momo (steamed dumplings of spiced buffalo, chicken or vegetables with tomato achar) and Sel Roti (ring-shaped sweet fried rice bread made for festivals). Rice, lentils and seasonal vegetables eaten twice daily across Nepal; in the hills, dhido made from millet or buckwheat replaces the rice. This atlas has 35 Nepal dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.

0 dishes.
