Food for Thought (in Nepal)

Dal Bhat - a typical Nepalese staple of rice, lentils, and some curries. Dal means lentils and bhat means steamed rice. Good thing about every restaurant serving dal bhat is that they all make it slightly differently - we never got tired of it. 

Milkshake - never disappoints and they have yogurt versions, aka lassi

Nepali peanuts - salsa with peanuts. Very simple and can be very spicy

Pakoda - little deep fried nuggets in chickpea flour. 

Gurung bread - or Tibetan bread. Lightly fried bread that is sometimes crispy and sometimes doughy. Great with local honey. 

Momo - dumplings!!

Thukpa - think stirfry noodles in soup

Khaja - I ordered this because it was listed under "Nepalese dishes". Turns out khaja means snack so I just had a bunch of snacks on one plate. It was crunchy. 

Yak cheese - mild in flavor and semi-soft in texture. Below the yak cheese is in pizza form. 

Buffalo - almost no Nepalese eats beef as the cow is sacred, so buffalo it is!
