Food Tour In Kathmandu – 1 Day

You will be picked up from hotel to start the food tasting tour. We will start with a Samay Baji Set as our first item of Food Tour including Chiura, or husked rice – a common snack in Nepal made by pounding rice. The dish can be served with yogurt, curry, and or meat. Wo – a Newari word which means mashed lentils cake. It is prepared from black lentils or green lentils, or “Mugh beans”. Aloo ko achar – a very popular Nepali potato salad, used in most feasts in Nepal. Chhoela – a smoked meat dish very popular in Nepal. It can be made with goat, buffalo or chicken. Fried bhatmas – fried, cooled soybean with a little salt added. Bodi – black eyed beans with spices, soaked overnight and then cooked in a cooker.

The bodi is then fried, adding some garlic ginger paste, salt and then chilled Saag – any type of green leave for this like English Spinach can be used. It can either be boiled or fried, adding some salt. Fried fish – anchovies fried in oil. Lava-palu – fresh garlic and ginger, peeled and cut in half with a little salt added. Aaila (alcohol) – a colorless, home-made rice wine. Momo – the simple white-flour-and-water dough is generally preferred to make the outer Momo covering. It is steamed over a soup in a Momo-making utensil called a “muck too”. Momo is served with a dipping sauce, locally called Achar, normally made with tomato as the base ingredient. Some also prefer to take the chilly Achar.
