About Nepali Cuisine
Nepali cuisine is influenced by its neighboring countries, India and Tibet, yet maintains its own distinct identity. The staple food is Dal Bhat (lentil soup with rice), typically served with vegetables, pickles, and meat curries.
Popular dishes include Momos (Tibetan-style dumplings), Sel Roti (ring-shaped rice bread), and various curries made with local spices and herbs.
Nepali food is generally less spicy than Indian cuisine and emphasizes fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
