"Kasto
Mitho" says this Nepali grandma......enjoying Nepali
Daal-Bhaat-Tarkaari.The main meal of Nepalese is Dal, Bhat and Tarkari (when
translated to English it become like Lentils, Rice and Vegetables). Nepalese
take this meal twice a day. In the hilly or the rural areas where Rice is quite
expensive. Nepalese substitute rice with "dhedo" which is made from
the mixture of flour and water or butter.Most of the Nepalese people use their
bare fingers and palm to eat their food especially the Dal, Bhat and Tarkari.Common
ingredients found across Nepalese cuisine include lentils, potatoes (which are
particularly popular within the Newar communities in the Himalayas and Pahar region), tomatoes, cumin,
coriander, chilies, peppers, garlic and mustard oil.Yoghurt, or dahi is
popular across Nepal, and is eaten for its healthy attributes and adaptable
nature, as it can be used as a side dish or as an ingredient in drinks (Lassi)
and desserts (Sikarni).
Granny says that Rice is the obvious staple
for many Nepalese dishes, just like many other Asian countries. The fried rice
dish of Pulao (also know as Pilaf and Pilau) is popular with locals and
visitors. Vegetable pulao in particular can be found throughout Nepal, and
consists of fried rice with vegetables which have been lightly seasoned with
turmeric and cumin. Accompaniments to the dish can vary from yoghurt to
papadams, and the subtle flavors brought out by the fragrant rice means the
dish is a regular feature at social events and times of celebration within the
country.
As granny mentions the fact
that due to farming restrictions in some of the higher regions of Nepal, rice
is often substituted with other grains, such as cornmeal and barley, in
addition to potatoes, unleavened breads and dhido (a porridge-like consistency, made using flour and hot
water). This is most obvious when looking at the indisputably popular dish, Dal Bhat. If Nepal had a
national dish, this would be it. Having crossed the border from Bengal, Dal Bhat consists of a
rice (or substitute) centre, alongside lentils which are surrounded by various
different dishes. Sides can include pickles, curried dishes, meat or fish,
yoghurt, and chutney. Rice in Nepal is regularly replaced with roti, an unleavened bread. The variations of this dish are
countless, but it is important when visiting to try at least one of them in
order to get an authentic taste of Nepalese cuisine.
Ofcourse the reality is
that Sel roti is a cross between a doughnut and a bagel, but sel roti is
actually made of rice flour and is like no other bread in the world. A crispy
and sweet outer surface gives way to a puffy and soft-textured dough. The rice
flour bread is deep fried and worked into a circular shape. The perfect snack
or breakfast treat, they are often consumed during Tihar and Dashai religious
festivals. Perfect when dipped in yoghurt, alongside vegetables, or simply
enjoyed by itself. Sel roti can be found from street vendors, and is best eaten
fresh.
Oh my god what granny says
that Chiura is a bit of an acquired taste. It is rice that has been beaten flat
and dried to keep it fresher for longer. It can be quite dry to eat, so it’s
best as an accompaniment to very wet curries. Be warned that it swells up in
the belly once eaten, so you can feel quite full after eating chiura
Grandma granny reflects past and posts a review to me .For all meat and mutton lovers, Gorkhali Lamb is a must-try while you are travelling in Nepal. The slow-cooked succulent pieces of meat lamb are immersed in chunky curry alongside wedges of potatoes and roughly chopped onions. the chilly mixture which is used to coat the lamb pieces before they are grilled feel like taste bombs in your mouth. The curry is best enjoyed with flatbread.
